CD4 Danger Zone CD4+ counts less than 500 cells/mm. NOTE: If you are undergoing treatment that has increased your CD4+ levels, see the important note on Naive T-Cells . There is some evidence that you should use the lowest CD4+ level you ever had when considering your risk for some opportunistic infections. Description Bacillary angiomatosis is an infection caused by bacteria from the genus Rochalimaea.that is characterized by the eruption of cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules. As the number of lesions increases, patients may develop fever, sweats, chills, poor appetite, vomiting and weight loss. If untreated, patients die from complications of the disease. The diagnosis rests on clinical parameters supported by histologic confirmation. Treatment with oral antibiotics for at least 2 weeks is highly effective. [ This infection can cause blood vessels to grow out of control and form tumor-like masses in skin, bone, liver and other organs.

EID Volume 1 * Number 1 January-March 1995 Synopsis Unraveling Mysteries Associated with Cat-Scratch Disease, Bacillary Angiomatosis, and Related Syndromes Russell Regnery, Ph.D., and Jordan Tappero, M.D. National Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Download Article The search for the infectious agents responsible for cat-scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and related syndromes has a long and often circuitous history. Recognition of the etiologic agents and a new understanding of the fundamental features of the epidemiology and natural history of modern day Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea)-associated diseases culminate a multipartite story that combines clinical medicine, traditional microbiology, and novel technological approaches to solve a long-standing enigma. The quest for the etiologic agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD) has frequently been described as a mystery . Indeed, the search has many qualities of a mystery novel; the pursuit has spanned several decades and recently taken several unexpected turns. During this period of important discovery, major microbial suspects have undergone name changes, novel microbial culprits have been introduced, new groups of affected patients have been recognized, and yet significant questions remain to be answered. Scientific and medical interest has been high; approximately 900 publications have dealt with CSD since the first good clinical description of the disease in 1950

Thoracic manifestations of Bacillary Angiomatosis In Aids EH Moore, LA Russell, and JS Klein (Univ. of California, Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA 95817 and Barrows Neurological Institute, Phoenix, AZ) Purpose and Methods: The clinical, imaging, and pathologic findings of five AIDS patients with bacillary angiomatosis involving the thorax are described. This condition, which often presents with vascular skin lesions resembling Kaposi's Sarcoma, fevers, Results: Common imaging findings included lung nodules (5/5), mediastinal adenopathy (4/5), peripheral adenopathy (4/ 5) and pleural effusions (3/5). Soft tissue lesions all showed dramatic enhancement on contrast CT (4/4) presumably due to the fact that the lesions are comprised to large extent by well formed capillaries. Conclusions: Bacillary angiomatosis, a treatable infection, should be considered in patients with enhancing adenopathy and/or lung nodularity, particularly when Kaposi's sarcoma is suspected clinically. librarian@vh.radiology.uiowa.edu Electric Differential Multimedia Lab

The infection, which occurs almost exclusively in patients with AIDS , can be a complication of cat-scratch disease Description Bacillary angiomatosis is a re-emerging bacterial infection that is identical or closely related to one which commonly afflicted thousands of soldiers during World War I. Today, the disease, caused by two versions of the same bacteria, is linked to homeless AIDS patients and to those afflicted with cat-scratch disease. The infection is rarely seen today in patients who don't have HIV. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an HIV patient diagnosed with bacillary angiomatosis is considered to have progressed to full-blown AIDS. Causes and symptoms Scientists have recently isolated two varieties of the Bartonella bacteria as the cause of bacillary angiomatosis: Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea quintana ) and B. henselae

Site map Search: Home Bacterial Bacillary angiomatosis Bacillary angiomatosis is a systemic illness characterised by lesions similar to those of Kaposi sarcoma in the skin, mucosal surfaces, liver, spleen and other organs. It is caused by bacterial infection with Bartonella quintana and Bartonella henselae (cause of catscratch disease ). The disease is only rarely seen in healthy immunocompetent people. It mostly affects immunocompromised patients, particularly those with AIDS or HIV How do you get bacillary angiomatosis? Bacillary angiomatosis is caused equally by Bartonella quintana and Bartonella henselae . It is usually a result of exposure to flea-infested cats with Bartonella henselae and the human body louse for Bartonella quintana (cause of trench fever in soldiers during World War I). Nowadays, the disease occurs mainly in AIDS patients. It may also be a complication of catscratch disease in immunocompetent patients. What are the signs and symptoms of bacillary angiomatosis?

INTRAVASCULAR PAPILLARY ENDOTHELIAL HYPERPLASIA (MASSON'S TUMOUR) DermAtlas-Related link Dr. Sampurna Roy M.D. GI Path Online- India Soft Tissue TumourOnline- India Home Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's tumour) was first described by Pierre Masson , who named it 'hemangioendotheliome vegetant intravasculaire' [Bull Soc Anat-( Paris) 1923; 93:517- 532]. It is a reactive condition representing an unusual form of organizing thrombus. This lesion may occur in any blood vessel in the body, but is commonly located on the fingers, head and neck and trunk. Masson's tumour may either occur in pure form (primary) , as a focal change in a preexisting vascular lesion (hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, or vascular malformation) and rarely in an extravascular location as a result of organization of a haematoma. Macroscopically, this lesion presents as a small (less than 2 cm in diameter), firm, blue or purple nodule. Sectioning reveals cystic mass containing clotted blood and surrounded by fibrous pseudocapsule. Microscopically, this is well circumscribed lesion which is usually present within a blood vessel (commonly thin-walled vein). Multiple small, delicate papillary structures project into the lumen and these are associated with some thrombus. These papillae are lined by single layer of plump endothelial cells surrounding a collagenized core. There is no multilayering, tufting, solid areas,necrosis and little or no atypia. There is little evidence of mitoses. In the early lesions the the papillae are composed of fibrin. In the late stage there is clumping and fusion of papillae forming an anastomosing network of blood vessel set in a loose meshlike connective tissue.
