Bacillary angiomatosis in a human immunodeficiency virus negative patient: A rare case

Abstract

Introduction: Although bacillary angiomatosis is generally known to be an opportunistic condition in immunosuppressed individuals there are extremely rare and exceptional occasions where it occurs in immunocompetent individuals. the incidence of bacillary angiomatosis in immunocompetent persons is not documented in the literature mainly due to the rarity of this condition in immunocompetent individuals. routine histopathological evaluation helps in confirming the diagnosis of its varied presentations like infected lymphadenopathy, bone lesions, bacillary peliosis of the liver or the spleen as well as cutaneous bacillary angiomatosis. Giving four doses of 250-500 mg dose of erythromycin per day has proved to be the most successful treatment option and other antibiotics like Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day and ciprofloxacin are also showing good results. case report: We report a retro viral disease negative in a seven-year-old girl who presented to us with a six-month history of bilateral neck fast growing masses. birth history showed that the patient was delivered through a normal vaginal delivery with an uneventful birth history. the
