Prantsidis A et al. – This study was to investigate a possible association between pityriasis rosea and human herpesvirus 8.

Nested polymerase chain reaction with specific primer for HHV–8 DNA sequences was performed and all positive results were confirmed by sequencing. Seven out of 34 lesional skin specimens were found to be positive for the HHV–8 genome.
