In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of transplantation-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is high, and there is disparity in the prevalence rates of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection between patients with renal disease and the general population. It was hypothesized that oral HHV-8 transmission among patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment contributes to the high prevalence of infection in renal disease patients. The detection rates of anti-HHV8-IgG in plasma and HHV-8-DNA in CD45(+)-peripheral blood cells of 72 hemodialysis patients were compared first with those of 178 blood donors and 60 pregnant women.
