PubMed Citation In 1982 a 32-year-old married bricklayer was admitted to a hospital in Rochester, New York, because of fever and subcutaneous nodules. The nodules were firm, 2 to 6 cm in diameter, and nontender and had appeared in the three weeks before admission. The patient's CD4+ lymphocyte count was 40 cells per cubic millimeter. During the first several days of hospitalization additional nodules appeared and the original nodules increased in size. Histologic examination demonstrated angioproliferation, and bacillary forms were identified in the lesions by Warthin-Starry staining, although

Extractions: Figure 1. Bacillary angiomatosis and Kaposi's sarcoma can be especially difficult to differentiate clinically. In each pair of figures, one shows a bacillary angiomatosis lesion (Panels A and B) and one shows a clinically indistinguishable Kaposi's sarcoma lesion (Panels C and D). There are many causes of moist, erosive cutaneous vascular lesions in immunocompromised patients. A tissue biopsy is required for diagnosis. Other bacterial and fungal infections, as well as pyogenic granuloma, may also have similar clinical appearances. On routine staining with hematoxylin and eosin, bacillary angiomatosis lesions show acute neutrophilic inflammation and capillary proliferation.

Extractions: Print friendly Tell a friend Find subscription deals by Carol A. Turkington 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

Extractions: Bacillary angiomatosis is a rare infection secondary to the organism Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae The radiographic findings most commonly consist of small nodules (1.5 mm to 1.5 cm) and the margins can be well or ill-defined. Associated markedly enhancing mediastinal adenopathy and pleural effusions are common. The lung nodules themselves may also densely enhance after contrast administration. Abdominal periaortic adenopathy, low attenuation liver and spleen lesions, and ascites may also be seen. Bone lesions are lytic or permeative and painful.

Extractions: WESTPORT, May 15 (Reuters Health) - While infrequently diagnosed in the general population, bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is not uncommon in patients with advanced HIV-1 infection and very low CD4+ counts, according to researchers in Brazil. A case history presented by Ely E. M. Cortes and colleagues from Hospital da Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro, in the April issue of AIDS Patients Care and STDs shows that Kaposi's sarcoma and BA can both be present in HIV-infected patients. The patient presented in 1990, and again in September 1995, with Kaposi's sarcoma. Four months later, physicians noted a "red nodule" on the left conjunctiva. This lesion, along with papular cutaneous lesions, was mixed with lesions from Kaposi's sarcoma. " Radiotherapy was tried, but the conjunctival lesion was not responsive," they write. The patient's CD4+ count at that time was 92 cells per microliter and his CD8+ count was 1,392 cells per microliter. While still being investigated, the patient presented in May 1996 with a dull ache in the upper right abdomen.

B. henselae are intraerythrocytic bacteria, therefore cell lysis, using a lysis centrifugation technique, greatly facilitates bacterial isolation from blood. Bacteria in the genus Bartonella are very fastidious, requiring up to 60 days to identify bacterial colonies. Seroconversion, using IFA or ELISA, can be used to confirm a diagnosis in people with acute disease. Because of disparate results among studies and an overall lack of microbiologic data in clinical therapeutic trials, numerous issues related to treatment of human bartonella infection remains controversial. In contrast to the apparent lack of response to antimicrobial treatment in human CSD patients, bacillary angiomatosis, parenchymal bacillary peliosis, and acute bartonella bacteremia appear to respond to antimicrobial treatment, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Doxycycline, erythromycin, and rifampin are recommended antibiotics, but clinical improvement has been reported following the use of penicillin, gentamicin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin.
