Human herpesvirus 8, also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, is etiologically associated with Kaposi sarcoma and other rare malignancies. Human herpesvirus 8 infection is common in certain areas of Africa and Italy, but occurs in only 0% to 15% of adult populations in North America and Europe. Reports of human herpesvirus 8 prevalence of 3% to over 50% among children in Central Africa, Brazil, and South Texas suggest that horizontal transmission of human herpesvirus 8 occurs among children. Primary human herpesvirus 8 infection in immunocompetent children is associated with a fever and maculopapular rash.
