摘要

Background: To estimate the prevalence of infection with human herpes virus type 8 (HHV8) and the incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma among HHV8-infected individuals, we conducted a population-based, cross-sectional study in Latina. This area of central Italy was formerly endemic for malaria and it is now covered by a population-based cancer registry.
