 AB    A 28-year-old white man, positive for HIV, who was admitted to hospital
       for pneumonia, had for 2 months had several fluctuating cutaneous purple
       nodules on his legs and abdomen. Cultures of two lesions were negative,
       but light and electron microscopy showed organisms characteristic of
       bacillary angiomatosis. The patient responded well to therapy with
       erythromycin. This is the first reported case of bacillary angiomatosis
       in South Africa.
