Abstract

ABSTRACT We conducted a seroepidemiologic study to determine the prevalence of anti-human herpesvirus 8 antibodies in a renal transplant population at Hôtel-Dieu de Québec Hospital. Testing for immunoglobulin G antibodies against lytic and latent antigens was performed on serum samples from 150 renal transplant patients. Human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients with confirmed Kaposi's sarcoma were used as positive controls. None of the renal transplant patients tested positive.
