Patients were interviewed and tested for antibodies against KSHV (using an indirect immunofluorescent assay). Data are presented for 607 patients who were not infected with the human immunodeficiency virus\u20101 (HIV) and who did not have Kaposi's sarcoma (these included people with cancers of the uterine cervix [140], breast [58], liver [41], oesophagus [36], lymphoma [47], other cancers [285] and benign tumours [63]). The prevalence of anti\u2010KSHV antibodies was 50% overall (302\/607) and did not differ significantly by cancer site (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.4) or sex (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.2), but increased linearly with age from 35% in those under 25 years to 55% in those 45 years and over (\u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> trend [1 df] = 9.1; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). After adjusting for age and sex, anti\u2010KSHV antibodies were more common in tribal groups other than the Baganda tribe (54% <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 45% among Baganda; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.02), but there was no significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05) variation in seroprevalence by district of birth, region of residence prior to becoming ill or various measures of wealth. The prevalence of anti\u2010KSHV antibodies decreased with increasing number of older siblings, although this may be due to chance (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.05) and was higher among people who had ever been married (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03). There was no significant association (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05) between the presence of antibodies against KSHV and other sexual and reproductive factors. Among the 302 patients with anti\u2010KSHV antibodies, the proportion with high titres increased linearly with increasing age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03) and was higher among those reporting having had a blood transfusion (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03). In conclusion, in this population in Uganda, where KSHV is relatively common, the prevalence of anti\u2010KSHV antibodies increased with age but showed little association with nearly 50 other factors studied. \u00a9 2002 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.10817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,12,2]],"date-time":"2002-12-02T13:58:57Z","timestamp":1038837537000},"page":"226-232","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["The sero\u2010epidemiology of Kaposi's sarcoma\u2010associated herpesvirus (KSHV\/HHV\u20108) in adults with cancer in Uganda"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Robert","family":"Newton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Ziegler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitra","family":"Bourboulia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Delphine","family":"Casabonne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valerie","family":"Beral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Mbidde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucy","family":"Carpenter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gillian","family":"Reeves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.
