title: Chronic lymphadenopathies and human herpes virus type 8.
abstract: Human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) is predominantly associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. Nothing is known about its manifestation in primary infection. We report an HIV-negative patient with chronic polyadenitis and lymphocytosis that may have been related to a primary HHV-8 infection.
