Abstract:
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV 8) is implicated in the etiology of neoplastic disorders, especially in HIV-infected and immunosuppressed people, but knowledge about seroprevalence of HHV 8 in general or selected populations is still insufficient. In this study the presence of IgG antibodies to HHV 8 in groups of immunosuppressed patients was tested.
