Description: A reactive vascular proliferation that is characterized by the multiple tumor-like lesions in skin, bone, brain, and other organs. Bacillary angiomatosis is caused by infection with gram-negative Bartonella bacilli (such as BARTONELLA HENSELAE), and is often seen in AIDS patients and other IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOSTS.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Bacillary Angiomatosis:

1.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 06/01/2002 - "It is essential to recognize bacillary angiomatosis, as it can be cured with antibiotics." 01/01/1992 - "It is important to be able to diagnose bacillary angiomatosis correctly because prompt treatment with antibiotics is potentially life-saving." 01/01/1994 - "The usefulness of making such a diagnosis resides in the sensitivity of bacillary angiomatosis to antibiotics, emphasing the need to carefully look for the presence of bacterial clusters when atypical angioproliferative lesion appears in patients with AIDS." 10/01/1996 - "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." 02/15/1995 - "Bacillary angiomatosis, another HIV-related skin disease that is caused by a pleomorphic gram-negative organism, resembles Kaposi's sarcoma clinically but is curable if treated early with antibiotics" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Erythromycin (Erycette)FDA LinkGeneric 11/01/1989 - "With erythromycin therapy, the lesions of bacillary (epithelioid) angiomatosis cleared, while those of Kaposi's persisted" 01/27/1999 - "The bacillary angiomatosis responded to 6 months of therapy with oral erythromycin." 06/01/1994 - "Caused by Rochalimaea henselae, bacillary angiomatosis is easily treated, when diagnosed early, with erythromycin" 03/01/1990 - "Bacillary angiomatosis usually responds readily to treatment with oral erythromycin, 250 to 500 mg, taken four times a day for 2 weeks to 1 month" 05/01/1989 - "Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related bacillary vascular proliferation (epithelioid angiomatosis): rapid response to erythromycin therapy."

3.	DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)IBA 12/01/1999 - "RESULTS: No case of bacillary angiomatosis harboured HHV-8 DNA" 10/01/1999 - "Absence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus DNA in bacillary angiomatosis-peliosis lesions." 09/01/1992 - "To further investigate the lesion, polymerase chain reaction DNA amplification and sequencing was performed, and the lesion was found to contain DNA sequences identical to those previously established for the agent of bacillary angiomatosis" 12/01/1999 - "This finding might be useful in the distinction of bacillary angiomatosis from Kaposi's sarcoma, because lesions from patients with Kaposi's sarcoma almost always contains HHV-8 DNA." 05/01/1997 - "Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus specific DNA was not amplifiable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in our patient, suggesting that the lesion represented bacillary angiomatosis alone, despite clinical and histopathological features which suggested the coexistence of bacillary angiomatosis and Kaposi's sarcoma" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
4.	Clarithromycin (Biaxin)FDA LinkGeneric 09/01/1998 - "Clarithromycin therapy for bacillary peliosis did not prevent bacillary angiomatosis." 09/01/1993 - "The polyps were histologically typical for bacillary angiomatosis and complete symptomatic and radiographic response to oral clarithromycin was seen" 06/15/1994 - "In AIDS, these compounds are indicated in mycobacteriosis (clarithromycin), bacillary angiomatosis and excavated pneumonia due to Rhodococcus equi" 09/01/1993 - "The clinical presentation of bacillary angiomatosis includes pulmonary disease and in particular bronchial polyps; clarithromycin is an effective oral antibiotic." 11/01/2007 - "Treatment with clarithromycin resulted in resolution of the bacillary angiomatosis, fever, anemia, panserosites, and hepatitis."
