Herpes-like sequences in HIV-infected and uninfected Karposi's sarcoma patients

A study used the polymerase chain reaction procedure to analyze 13 Karposi's sarcoma biopsies, 12 normal biopsies, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and KS-derived cell lines. Results indicate a herpesvirus-like DNA sequence in all KS biopies, including one unaffected by HIV.
