 AB    A patient with advanced HIV infection developed multiple angiomatous
       papules and nodules on the upper chest within a few days. At first sight
       the lesions resembled disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma; the differential
       diagnosis, however, included eruptive haemangiomas and pyogenic
       granulomas. Such distinct clinical characteristics as the
       collarette-like desquamation at the borders of the tumours led to the
       suspicion of bacillary epithelioid angiomatosis in HIV infection, which
       was then confirmed by histology and ultrastructural demonstration of
       bacillary colonies within the lesions. Under systemic antibiotic
       treatment, marked regression of the lesions was quickly observed within
       1 week and complete regression occurred after 4 weeks. It is important
       to consider bacillary angiomatosis in HIV infection in the differential
       diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma, and it is a separate entity in the form
       of angioproliferation caused by bacteria.
