Abstract
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been detected in all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma, including transplantation-associated Kaposi's sarcoma. To investigate the possibility of transmission of HHV-8 through allografts, we measured the seroprevalence of HHV-8 before and after renal transplantation.Keywords
