AB CASE REPORT: A 28 year old homosexual man with AIDS presented with
multiple skin lesions on the dorsum of the foot. A biopsy of one of the
lesions revealed histological changes consistent with bacillary
angiomatosis. Treatment with erythromycin was instituted which resulted
in complete resolution of the lesions. BACKGROUND: Bacillary
angiomatosis is an uncommon infection affecting the skin and viscera of
patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. We describe the
clinical and histological features of this infection. The causative
agent of bacillary angiomatosis has recently been isolated. We reviewed
the literature, in particular dealing with the relationship between
bacillary angiomatosis and cat scratch disease.
