TL;DR: Antibody kinetics showed that more than half of the AIDS–KS patients who were examined IgG–seroconverted before KS development, and antibody levels did not decline after seroconversion, suggest that the rate of infection was constant and that the risk of developing KS once infected with KSHV is not highly dependent on the duration of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus and Kaposi's Sarcoma in Africa
Yuan Chang,J Ziegler,Henry Wabinga,Edward Katangole-Mbidde,Chris Boshoff,Thomas F. Schulz,Denise Whitby,Dawn Maddalena,Harold W. Jaffe,Robin A. Weiss,Patrick S. Moore +10 more
TL;DR: As in North America and Europe, KSHV infection is strongly associated with both HIV-Seropositive and HIV-seronegative KS in Africa, however, it is likely that infection with this virus is more highly prevalent in Uganda.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Kaposi's sarcoma in Africa. Uganda Kaposi's Sarcoma Study Group.
Yuan Chang,J Ziegler,Henry Wabinga,E Katangole-Mbidde,Chris Boshoff,Thomas F. Schulz,Denise Whitby,D Maddalena,Harold W. Jaffe,Robin A. Weiss,Patrick S. Moore +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) associated herpesvirus (KSHV) was detected in both endemic HIV-seronegative and HIV-Seropositive KS lesions from African patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for Kaposi's sarcoma in HIV-positive subjects in Uganda.
J Ziegler,Robert U. Newton,E. Katongole-mbidde,S Mbulataiye,K De Cock,Henry Wabinga,J. Mugerwa,Elly Katabira,Harold W. Jaffe,Donald Maxwell Parkin,Gillian K Reeves,R Weiss,Valerie Beral +12 more
TL;DR: Among HIV-infected subjects, KS cases are characterized by better education and greater affluence, compared with controls, and few indices of sexual behaviour were related to risk of KS, including reported number of sexual partners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Uganda: a case-control study.
Donald Maxwell Parkin,H. Garcia-Giannoli,M. Raphaël,A. Martin,E Katangole-Mbidde,Henry Wabinga,J Ziegler +6 more
TL;DR: In adults, the risk associated with HIV was much lower in Uganda than in western countries, possibly because of the poor survival of immunosuppressed HIV-positive individuals.
