angiomatosis/fever

Cutaneous reactive angiomatoses (CRA) encompass a distinct group of rare benign reactive vascular proliferations that include reactive angioendotheliomatosis, diffuse dermal angiomatosis and reactive intralymphatic histiocytosis. The etiology of these conditions, often associated with either

Bacillary angiomatosis is a rare infection that has been associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. The causative organism is Rochalimaea henselae and contact with cats is a risk factor. We present a case of a 37-yr-old man who had recent prolonged exposure to a cat and presented with

Bacillary angiomatosis (epithelioid) is a recently described clinicopathologic syndrome, principally associated to infection by the human immunodeficiency virus. The case of a patient who was seen for fever and the appearance of four painful, erythematous and indurated subcutaneous nodules on the

Bacillary angiomatosis is a cutaneous or visceral infection with Bartonella henselae or Bartonella quintana. Cases usually occur in HIV infected individuals. We present a 60-year-old man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and neutropenic fever caused by bacillary angiomatosis. The nine BA cases in

Polypoid endobronchial lesions occurred in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with recent fever, skin lesions, lymphadenopathy, lung infiltrates, and pleural effusions. His condition improved with antimicrobials and vincristine. After therapy ceased, skin lesions recurred and

BACKGROUND Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is a rare, acquired, reactive vascular proliferation, clinically characterized by livedoid erythematous-violaceous plaques, which frequently evolve to ulceration and necrosis. Histopathologically, it is manifested by a diffuse proliferation of endothelial

A 36-year-old man with advanced AIDS presented with skin lesions, fever and weight loss. Physical examination revealed skin lesions suggestive of bacillary angiomatosis. Diagnostic imaging identified bone lesions, soft tissue masses and a single hepatic lesion. His clinical presentation was most

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is a reactive vasoproliferative lesion occurring almost exclusively in immunocompromised individuals in response to infection by a bacillus closely related to Rochalimaea quintana. The commonest site of involvement is the skin, in the form of multiple erythematous

A 28-year-old male with AIDS and a CD4 cell count of 100/mm3 presented with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, weight loss, and multiple, polypoid, angiomatous lesions on his face. It was determined by means of biopsy that the lesions were due to bacillary angiomatosis. The patient was treated with oral

We report a case of bacillary angiomatosis (BA), a recently described opportunistic infection, in a 30-year-old patient with Aids who was referred for a purplish vascular nodule on the forehead, of one-month duration, surrounded by similar smaller papules. For the previous 4 months he had suffered

It is a report of disseminated bacillary angiomatosis (BA) in a 23-year-old female patient, who is HIV-positive and with fever, weight loss, hepatomegaly, ascites, and papular-nodular skin lesions. The clinical and diagnostic aspects involved in the case were discussed. Bacillary angiomatosis must

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is a recently described infection usually found in patients with human immunodeficiency virus disease. BA is caused by a Gram-negative coccobacillus. This organism is primarily responsible for skin lesions of the pseudo-botryomycoma type or inflammatory nodules, but it
