An unusual case of bacillary angiomatosis in the oral cavity of an AIDS patient who had no concomitant tegumentary lesions – case report and review

Abstract: Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is an angioproliferative disease of immunocompromised patients that usually presents as vascular tumors in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is caused by chronic infections with either Bartonella henselae or B. quintana. Oral cavity BA is exceedingly rare and even rarer without simultaneous cutaneous disease. We report herein the case of a 51-year-old HIV-infected man who presented severe odynophagia and an eroded lesion on the hard palate that progressed to an oronasal fistula.… Show more

“…The FVBP geographical distribution and prevalence are on the rise worldwide (BANETH et al, 2012;ANDRÉ et al, 2017) while an increasing number of FVBP has been detected in humans (SANTOS et al, 2008;EYER-SILVA et al, 2017). No molecular studies investigating FVBP in cats had been previously conducted in the Canoinhas municipality, SC, southern Brazil.…”

“…A contagem de células T CD4 acima de 600cel/mm 3 é tida como normal, e a supressão imune inicial é definida como sendo abaixo de 500 cel/mm 3 . A literatura chama atenção para casos de severa imunodepressão onde se tem uma contagem de células T CD4 abaixo de 200 cel/mm 3 , tendo perda anual de 60 a 80 cel/mm 3 podendo apresentar variações de indivíduo para indivíduo 9 . Com a diminuição na contagem de linfócitos T CD4, principalmente em indivíduos com níveis inferiores a 200 cel/mm 3 , o aparecimento de lesões bucais associadas ao HIV se mostra aumentado 7 .…”

“…Pesquisadores tem observado uma redução da prevalência de manifestações bucais por infecções oportunistas com início da terapia antirretroviral combinada 9,10 . Esse dado vantajoso tem ocorrido devido a uma recuperação parcial das funções do sistema imunológico após supressão da viremia e redução da destruição celular causada pelo HIV, além de um possível efeito antiapoptose de algumas drogas 9 . A terapia antirretroviral acarreta diminuição da carga viral do HIV, com consequente aumento dos linfócitos T CD4, resultando em menor frequência das lesões oportunistas 9 .…”
