Abstract

A human immunodeficiency virus-negative woman with severe classic Kaposi's sarcoma, idiopathic leukopenia, and massive spread of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) in circulating cells showed stable disease remission in response to systemic interferon-α treatment that was accompanied by increased CD3⁺ and CD4⁺ T cell numbers and complete clearance of HHV-8 from the circulation. These results suggest a direct relationship between HHV-8 clearance from blood and regression of Kaposi's sarcoma and are consistent with the in vitro inhibitory effects of interferon-α on HHV-8 infection.
