Bacillary angiomatosis associated lymphadenopathy is engendered by Bartonella henselae, a bacterium inducing cat scratch disease. Few lesions may be engendered by Bartonella quintana. Generally, the conditions arises within immunosuppressed subjects or individuals with human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection. Lesion may appear as a neoplastic process although the bacterial infection induces a reactive inflammatory response.
