Correlations between the quantitative detection of HHV8 DNA copy numbers in PBMCs with the level of serum CRP (P < .0001), plasma IL-6 (P < .0001), and plasma IL-10 (P < .0001) in 23 HIV-infected patients (95 visits) with MCD.

A possible correlation between HHV8 copy numbers and plasma HIV-RNA was also noted (P = .08).
