Epstein-Barr virus causes mononucleosis. In people with weakened immune systems, it can also
lead to some types of lymphoma.
People with weakened immune systems may also be at risk for a cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma
if they are infected with human herpesvirus 8 (also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated
herpesvirus, or KSHV). In the United States, KSHV infection is most common in homosexual
men.
