[kaposi's sarcoma and aplastic pancytopenia: simultaneous occurrence in a patient].	a 49 year old patient developed simultaneously a histologically verified kaposi's sarcoma and an idiopathic aplastic pancytopenia. an association of these perhaps virus-induced diseases has not been reported until now. consequences concerning the diagnostic approach of changes in peripheral blood cells in patients with kaposi's sarcoma are delineated. changes in peripheral blood and bone marrow in patients with kaposi's sarcoma are discussed.	1979	521277
antibody patterns to herpesviruses in kaposi's sarcoma. ii. serological association of american kaposi's sarcoma with cytomegalovirus.	the prominent finding of this extended serologic analysis on american and african kaposi's sarcoma (ks) patients and appropriately matched control groups is the detection of a specific serologic association of cytomegalovirus (cmv) with american ks patients. all american ks sera contained cmv antibodies and their geometric mean titers (gmt) were significantly higher than those in sera of melanoma patients (gmt ratio k = 5.3 to 7.7 by complement fixation [cf], k = 8.9 by indirect hemagglutination ...	1978	212367
partial characterization of a herpes-type virus (k9v) derived from kaposi's sarcoma.	a herpes-type virus that was originally isolated from a cell culture (designated k9v) derived from a tumor biopsy specimen from a patient with kaposi's sarcoma was partially characterized. the host range of k9v, as determined by the induction of virus-specific cytopathology, synthesis of antigens, and plaque formation, was limited to human cells and particularly to fibroblasts. immunofluorescence and complement fixation assays confirmed the specificity of the presence of cytomegalovirus (cmv)-ty ...	1977	195073
de novo kaposi's sarcoma in renal transplantation. case report and brief review.	this report describes a de novo development of kaposi's sarcoma in a puerto-rician man 9 months after a cadaveric renal transplant. progression of the disease was observed despite local irradiation, while the patient remained immunosuppressed with prednisone and azathioprine. this was accompanied by depressed immunologic tests. discontinuation of azathioprine and addition of chemotherapy (bleomycin and vincristine), while continuing prednisone to maintain functional survival of renal allograft, ...	1976	59624
[association of kaposi's sarcoma and hodgkin's disease].	the authors report a new case of the association hodgkin's disease and kaposi's sarcoma. a woman of north african origin and suffering from mediastinal hodgkin's disease developed, after the commencement of polychemotherapy with radiotherapy, kaposi's cutaneous sarcoma, typical, clinically, histologically and by electron microscopy. in the light of this new case, the authors review 41 cases of the hodgkin-kaposi association found in the literature and discuss the inter-relations between kaposi's ...	1976	1015798
antibody patterns to herpesviruses in kaposi's sarcoma: serological association of european kaposi's sarcoma with cytomegalovirus.	sera from patients with kaposi's sarcoma (ks) were examined for antibody titres to cytomegalovirus (cmv), epstein-barr virus (ebv) and herpes simplex virus (hsv) types 1 and 2 by four techniques: indirect haemagglutination (iha), complement fixation (cf), virus neutralization (nt) and indirect immunofluorescence (if). the patients were classified, according to the stage of disease, as progressive and regressive. control sera were obtained from healthy adults, matched for age, sex, race, socioeco ...	1975	166949
kaposi's sarcoma: a byproduct of tumour rejection.	it is suggested that kaposi's sarcoma is the result of a chronic immunological reaction between antigenically altered or transformed lymphoid cells and normal lymphocytes. in the course of this local graft-versus-host type activity, an angiogenesis factor is liberated and intense proliferation of mesenchymal and endothelial cells ensues. during the g.v.h.-like activity, an oncogenic virus is either transferred to or induced in the cells responsive to the angiogenesis factor. thus, the stage is s ...	1975	52056
