It is usually the result of exposure to cats infested with fleas with Bartonella henselae and the human body louse with Bartonella quintana (the cause of trench fever in soldiers during World War I).

These lesions resemble Kaposi sarcoma and the disease is often confused with this. There may be between 1 and 100 lesions on any part of the body, although they are rarely found on the palms, soles, or mouth. Lesions can be pinhead-sized spots or nodules up to 10 cm in diameter. The nodules are firm lumps and do not turn white with firm pressure. If injured, the lesions bleed profusely.<\/p>\n<p>As the number of lesions increases, the patient may develop high fever, pain, and swelling. <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1775\">lymph nodes<\/span>, nausea, vomiting, sweating, chills and lack of appetite.<\/p>\n<p>The infection can also cause <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"953\">blood vessels<\/span> grow out of <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1854\">control<\/span> And form <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"289\">tumor<\/span>-as masses in other organs, including bones, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory tract, where airway obstruction may occur.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/en\/wiki\/erythromycin-2\/\">erythromycin<\/a> appears to be the antibiotic of choice and is administered until the lesions resolve, usually within 3-4 weeks of starting therapy. Other antibiotics used include doxycycline, trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole, <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/en\/wiki\/tetracycline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tetracycline<\/a> and rifampicin.<\/p>\n<p>Large lymph nodes or pus-filled blisters may need to be drained. Supportive therapy includes hydration and pain relievers for pain and fever. Warm, moist compresses on the affected nodes can decrease swelling and tenderness.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La angiomatosis bacilar es una enfermedad sist\u00e9mica caracterizada por lesiones similares a las de sarcoma de Karposi\u00a0en la piel mucosa superficies, h\u00edgado, bazo y otros \u00f3rganos.
