Table 2 Main viro-immunological parameters of SSP and of VP according to the detection or not of HHV-8 shedding at T0 regardless of the presence or absence of EBV and/or CMV salivary shedding. Data are expressed as median and interquartile range (IQR). In bold significant P values
SSP with HHV-8 shedding (n = 14) | VP with HHV-8 shedding (n = 15) | p | SSP with no HHV-8 shedding (n = 26) | VP with no HHV-8 shedding (n = 18) | p | |
