An Atypical Subcutaneous Infection Associated with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome

Abstract: Cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) continue to be reported at an alarming rate. As the numbers of cases increase, so too does the list of unusual manifestations associated with this syndrome. We report here a patient with AIDS who, during his clinical course, had a previously undescribed, histologically atypical, subcutaneous infection develop. Light microscopic, electron microscopic, and microbiologic data are presented. The cause and pathogenesis of this lesion are discussed.

“…Other less common syndromes associated with B. henselae occur mainly in irnmunocompromised people, and include the vasculoproliferative disease bacillary angiomatosis (BA) (18,19,21,24,27,28,30,31), bacillary peliosis (29,33), endocarditis (15), and other syndromes (34). CSD varies in severity from a benign, self-limiting disease to a severe disseminated disease which may require hospitalization.…”
