Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been found in association with Kaposi's sarcomas in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and -negative patients, primary effusion lymphomas (PELs), multicentric Castleman's disease, and multiple myeloma. The PELs share several features with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated primary central nervous system lymphomas (1 degree CNS-L), including B-cell phenotype, infection with Epstein-Barr virus, and lack of c-myc gene rearrangements. This prompted us to investigate the role of HHV-8 in 1 degree CNS-L and other brain lymphomas. METHODS:To identify HHV-8, we performed nested and single polymerase chain reaction using DNA extracted from autopsy and biopsy brain lymphoma specimens of 36 patients with and without AIDS. RESULTS:We detected HHV-8 DNA in 56% of all 1 degree CNS-L, with similar rates for patients with and without AIDS, but in just one of five metastatic B-cell lymphomas. Brain tissues histologically uninvolved by lymphoma were negative for HHV-8 in three patients in whom their 1 degree CNS-L was HHV-8 positive. In contrast, we easily demonstrated HHV-8 DNA in spleens and a KS lesion of patients with HHV-8-positive 1 degree CNS-L. All nonlymphoma brain controls were negative for HHV-8. CONCLUSIONS:HHV-8 DNA is found in a significant percentage of 1 degree CNS-L, including patients with and without AIDS. Identification of HHV-8 in splenic tissue and absence of HHV-8 in control brain tissues suggests the possibility of a peripheral lymphocyte reservoir for HHV-8. Systemically infected lymphocytes may play a direct or indirect role in the pathogenesis of 1 degree CNS-L.

NEUROLOGY文献大全abstract::The incidence of MS in the Orkney Islands has been updated from 1941 to September 21, 1983. Since 1965, MS incidence rates have fallen significantly when compared with those for 1941 to 1964. Alterations in age-specific prevalence, mean duration of illness, and mean age of the MS population are consistent with the dec...
