Extractions: Resources A life-threatening but curable infection that causes an eruption of purple lesions on or under the skin that resemble Kaposi's sarcoma . The infection, which occurs almost exclusively in patients with AIDS , can be a complication of cat-scratch disease 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. Scientists have recently isolated two varieties of the Bartonella bacteria as the cause of bacillary angiomatosis: Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea quintana ) and B. henselae

The organisms causing bacillary angiomatosis and the related disorder bacillary peliosis are similar to those causing cat-scratch disease. Patients with the human immunodeficiency virus HIV infection may develop bacillary angiomatosis, manifested as a cutaneous disorder with multiple angiomatous papules, skin lesions typical of Kaposis sarcoma , cellulitis and subcutaneous nodules. Bone lesions are sometimes the initial manifestation of the disease. Radiographically, the dominant feature is osteolysis, associated with an adjacent soft tissue mass. Also, see angiomatosis

The organism particularly affects HIV-infected patients producing characteristic erythematous, well-circumscribed skin lesions which are tender and may bleed. Disseminated disease affecting multiple organ systems including the liver, spleen, central nervous system and lymph nodes has been seen in AIDS patients. Within the lung well or poorly defined lung nodules measuring up to 1.5 cm have been described, as has peribronchovascular interstitial thickening . Other findings including endobronchial polyps have been reported in at least two HIV-infected patients. Hilar lymphadenopathy and pleural effusion were also seen in association with these individuals but a direct relationship to B. henselae

Extractions: 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

CNS Lymphoma on CT Scan last update August 2002 Bacillary Angiomatosis Bartonella henselae has been recognized as the causative agent of bacillary angiomatosis in HIV-infected patients. This condition is characterized by a proliferation of blood vessels in the skin and internal organs. Skin lesions are nodular and red or purplish in color, and may eventually ulcerate and drain. Diagnosis is made by biopsy, and treatment consists of a prolonged course of an oral macrolide antibiotic such as erythromycin or azithromycin.

Extractions: CASE PRESENTATION DR J. SHAUN MURPHY: A 30-year-old woman was found to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at age 22 (1989). She also had a history of moderate asthma. She had been in her usual health until 2 months before hospitalization when nonbloody diarrhea appeared. A month later, she noted a small, yellow mass arising from her umbilicus Figure 1 . Seven days before the patient's admission to the hospital, the umbilical mass was noted to drain small amounts of clear fluid. In addition, she noted the onset of exertional dyspnea, diffuse abdominal pain, increasing abdominal girth, fever, chills, urinary frequency, dull lower back pain, and general fatigue. The HIV was secondary to intravenous drug use. She stated she had not used heroin or cocaine intravenously since 1995. Eight months before admission, her CD4 count was 12 cells/mm

Extractions: Cutaneous Indications for HIV Testing Bacillary Angiomatosis Bacillary angiomatosis is caused by the same organisms that cause cat-scratch disease: Bartonella henselae or Bartonella quintana (formerly Rochalimaea). These bacteria are gram negative pleomorphic bacilli. Exposure to domestic cats is implicated in both illnesses: approximately 40% of household cats have evidence of infection. Although bacillary angiomatosis is most frequently seen in immunocompromised patients, the disorder may be seen rarely in otherwise healthy patients. The recognition of bacillary angiomatosis should be considered an indication for HIV testing. The typical lesion of bacillary angiomatosis is an enlarging, tender erythematous or violaceous papulonodule. A collarette of scale is frequently associated. The nodule may be dome shaped or pedunculated. This lesion may be easily mistaken for a pyogenic granuloma. Parenchymal bacillary peliosis may be associated with the cutaneous disease. This vasoproliferative disorder may involve the liver, spleen and heart. The diagnosis of bacillary angiomatosis is made by excisional biopsy for histopathological diagnosis. Blood cultures and serologic testing may also be useful.
