Epithelioid angiomatosis

Abstract

Since the original description of Epithelioid Angiomatosis by Cockerell and Associates in 1987, literature has been published describing both the local and systemic manifestations of Cat-Scratch disease. Most typical cases of Cat-Scratch disease are self-limited with full recovery expected in 2 to 4 months. In patients infected with the acquired immunodeficiency virus, the prognosis is much less favorable. The authors present a case of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patient with biopsy proven Cat-Scratch disease, his clinical manifestations, and response to therapy.
