Abstract
We conclude that HHV-8 is usually not present in blood neither from autoimmune patients nor from healthy controls. Furthermore, HHV-8 antibodies against the HHV-8 orfK8.1 peptide were rarely detected. It leads us to infer that HHV-8 is not involved on the development of these disorders. It does not rule out the possibility that other environmental and microbiological triggers may account for their etiopathogenesis.
