We have confirmed the presence of herpes-like DNA sequences in six cases of AIDS-associated KS and three of the nine cases of African-endemic KS in adults, but not in eight cases of KS in children from the same area. These sequences were seen in a histologically early stage of KS. Our results suggest that herpes-like DNA sequences may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AIDS-associated KS., American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 55(4), pp.405-406; 1996}, pages = {405--406}, title = {Short Report: Herpes-Like DNA Sequences in African-Endemic and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome-Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma}, volume = {55}, year = {1996} }
