AB Since the recognition of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
in 1981, previously rare infections and neoplasms have become
increasingly common. Bacillary angiomatosis, undescribed in the medical
literature prior to 1983, is now second in frequency only to Kaposi's
sarcoma with respect to the cutaneous manifestations associated with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Caused by Rochalimaea
henselae, bacillary angiomatosis is easily treated, when diagnosed
early, with erythromycin. We present two cases of bacillary angiomatosis
that presented to Toronto General Hospital and review this new and
clinically interesting entity. The incidence of bacillary angiomatosis
will undoubtedly increase as the HIV epidemic accelerates. Since
bacillary angiomatosis commonly affects the head and neck region, it is
important for the otolaryngologist to become increasingly proficient in
its diagnosis and treatment. The current AIDS crisis demands that the
otolaryngologist become aware not only of bacillary angiomatosis, but
also of the other cutaneous head and neck manifestations of HIV
infection.
