 AB    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.
