Extractions: The severity and presentation is related to the immune status. In general, classical CSD occurs in otherwise healthy patients, whereas those immunocompromised by AIDS or immunosuppression tend to have systemic disease characterized by bacillary angiomatosis. However, systemic disease has been reported in healthy patients and cat scratch disease in AIDS patients. Cat Scratch Disease typically presents clinically as regional lymphadenopathy preceded by an erythematous papule at the inoculation site in 25-95% of patients. These two findings plus positive serology and characteristic histopathologic features are keys to the diagnosis. About two weeks after the scratch, regional lymphadenopathy develops, which lasts two-four weeks and resolves spontaneously. For most patients this is the typical course, but in 1-2% of cases there is prolonged morbidity with persistent fever, expanding suppuration of nodes with rupture through the capsule and extension to the skin. Other complications include Parinauds ocularglandular syndrome, hepatic and splenic abscess, encephalopathy, pneumonia, arthralgia and various skin eruptions.

SR Long, MJ Whitfeld, C Eades, JE Koehler, AP Korn, and CJ Zaloudek BACKGROUND: Bacillary angiomatosis is a clinicopathologic entity that most often is identified in the skin of patients with AIDS. This report presents an example of bacillary angiomatosis of the female genital tract. CASE: Bacillary angiomatosis presented as red-purple nodules of the vulva and cervix in a 32-year-old woman with AIDS. Histologic examination revealed the lobular epithelioid vascular proliferation and hazy clumps of bacteria that characterize bacillary angiomatosis. The diagnosis was confirmed on Warthin-Starry-stained issue and by blood cultures, which were positive for Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae. CONCLUSION: Accurate diagnosis of this infection is important because 1) bacillary angiomatosis is commonly mistaken for Kaposi sarcoma, 2) it is effectively treated with inexpensive antibiotics, and 3) undiagnosed and/or untreated bacillary angiomatosis may lead to overwhelming disseminated infection and death.

LE Riley and RE Tuomala Bacillary angiomatosis, a cutaneous lesion newly recognized to affect patients with AIDS, may resemble Kaposi sarcoma. It is presumed to be an infectious process caused by the gram-negative bacilli associated with cat-scratch fever. We present a case of bacillary angiomatosis in a pregnant AIDS patient.

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.

Bartonella quintana, known for some time as a cause of trench fever, is also associated with CSD and Bacillary Angiomatosis (BA). Both diseases frequently affect immunocompromised patients, particularly those infected with HIV-1. Although CSD is generally a self limiting disease, it can be life threatening. Limitations There is some cross reactivity between the IgG classes of B.henselae and B. quintana.

Extractions: Children with young cats, HIV-infected patients with low CD4 counts, and lice-infested homeless people are among those with an increased risk. Clinical presentation varies with the infecting Bartonella species and the host. Treatment for cat-scratch disease is supportive; macrolide therapy is an appropriate choice for other Bartonella infections. Dr. Loutit is Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, and Chief of Infectious Disease, Palo Alto Veterans Administration Healthcare System, Palo Alto, Calif. Bartonella is a genus of aerobic Gram-negative bacilli. Four of the 10 species identified cause the majority of Bartonella diseases in humans: Bartonella bacilliformis, B. elizabethae, B. henselae, and B. quintana. In the United States, the most common clinical syndrome caused by Bartonella is cat-scratch disease. Approximately 22,000 cases are reported each year. Although a clinical profile of cat-scratch disease was described in 1950, the primary pathogen was not identified until 43 years later. That pathogen, formerly assigned to the genus Rochalimaea, is now designated as B. henselae.
