Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been increasingly diagnosed in patients who recei ve immunosuppressive treatment for organ transplantation.(1-4) Furthermore, four cases of KS in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) have been reported.(5-8) Herein we report a case of KS after allogeneic BMT in a child in whom an active infection by HHV-8, a Kaposi's sarcoma-associ ated herpes virus, was demonstrated.
