- Abstract
A 27-year-old male patient had recurrent pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis. Histologically, Warthin-Starry staining of the lesions revealed clumps of dark bacilli as found in patients with bacillary angiomatosis. IgG antibodies against Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae were elevated as shown by an indirect immunofluorescence assay. The patient did not present an obvious risk for HIV infection or immunosuppression, and no antibodies against HIV-1 and HIV-2 were found. Recurrent pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis may be a localized variant of bacillary angiomatosis.
