title: [Cytomegaloviruses and Kaposi sarcoma].
abstract: The cause of Kaposi's sarcoma is still unknown. Apart from genetic influences, the data available at present indicate that cytomegaloviruses may play a certain role. Serological investigations as well as results from molecular biology techniques seem to point to an association. However, whether the association is indeed causal remains to be determined.
