There is some evidence that you should use the lowest CD4+ level you ever had when considering your risk for some opportunistic infections. 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.

Abstract: 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.

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

Extractions: 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, 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. 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

BA was first described in 1983 in a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Subsequently, this infection was described in patients who had organ transplants and in patients who were immunocompetent. Initially, BA was called epithelioid angiomatosis because of its histological appearance, which includes plump cuboidal epithelial cells and vascular proliferations. In 1990, Relman et al identified a visualized but uncultured bacillus from affected tissues using molecular methods. They concluded that a unique 16S gene sequence associated with epithelioid angiomatosis belonged to a previously uncharacterized microorganism, most closely related to Rochalimaea quintana . Epithelioid angiomatosis was renamed bacillary angiomatosis. Later, the same organism was recovered in a special culture media. The organism stains gram-negative with routine staining and was named

Extractions: Definition 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 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
