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.
