Extractions: Emerging Infectious Diseases * Volume 2 * Number 2 April-June 1996 Dispatches Download Article Bartonella quintana has episodically emerged as a cause of infection among distinct and diverse populations during the 20th century. The organism was first identified as an important human pathogen during World War I when it caused epidemics of louse-borne trench fever that affected an estimated 1 million troops in Europe . Trench fever was characterized by fever, rash, bone pain, and splenomegaly and ranged in severity from a mild flulike illness to a more severe, relapsing disease. B. quintana infections were rarely recognized from the end of World War II until the 1980s when the organism reemerged as an opportunistic pathogen among HIV-infected persons. In this population, B. quintana has been identified as a cause of bacillary angiomatosis, endocarditis, and bacteremia and has been isolated from AIDS patients in France and the United States In the 1990s

Extractions: 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.

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.

Extractions: Objectives: To report seven cases of bacillary angiomatosis; to evaluate the most useful diagnostic tools; to analyse the clinical and epidemiological features associated with Bartonella quintana or Bartonella henselae infections. Design: Clinical, diagnostic and epidemiological evaluation of 37 speciated bacillary angiomatosis cases in the literature, including the seven patients in our study. Methods: Pathological examination of tissue samples, including Warthin-Starry staining and immunohistology; titre of antibodies to Bartonella sp.; detection of Bartonella sp. in blood and biopsy materials by culture or PCR; and statistical analysis of clinical and epidemiological features associated with B. quintana or B. henselae bacillary angiomatosis cases. Results: Seven immunocompromised patients (six with AIDS and one patient with acute leukaemia) had bacillary angiomatosis confirmed by histology. B. quintana was cultured in three patients, whereas B. henselae DNA was amplified by PCR in the remaining four patients. Serum from only one patient reacted with Bartonella antigens. Amongst the 14 B. quintana and 23 B. henselae bacillary angiomatosis cases now reported in the literature, lymphadenopathies were significantly more frequent in B. henselae-infected patients, and neurological disorders of the central nervous system in B. quintana-infected patients. Risk factors were contact with cats, and homelessness or poor socioeconomic status in B. henselae and B. quintana bacillary angiomatosis cases, respectively.

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

Steigbigel The pathogens responsible for cat scratch disease and bacillary angiomatosis have been difficult to identify.New technologies, including analysis of the 16S ribosomal gene of DNA isolated from bacteria associated with these diseases, have helped to solve these diagnostic dilemmas. Both disorders appear to result from Rochalimaea species infection, including the recently identified R. henselae, a slow-growing, fastidious, gram-negative bacillus. Despite shared causes, cat scratch disease and bacillary angiomatosis are distinguished by differing host ranges, clinical manifestations
