N2 - Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is detected more often in patients progressing towards Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) than in patients who do not develop the disease, suggesting that the level of viremia might be associated with Kaposi's sarcoma disease and progression. Longitudinal serum samples from 19 AIDS-Kaposi's sarcoma patients, ranging from 2 years before KS till 2 years after KS diagnosis were tested. No correlation was found between viral load and progression to KS, or disease stage. (C) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc
