The clinical application of plasma <scp>K</scp>aposi sarcoma herpesvirus viral load as a tumour biomarker: results from 704 patients

Abstract

Measuring the plasma levels of KSHV as a biomarker in KSHV-associated disease has a very limited value in either diagnosis or prognostication. The only potential role of clinical value is the suggestion that an undetectable plasma KSHV excludes a diagnosis of MCD in PLWH.
