Bacillary angiomatosis

چکیده
DR J. SHAUN MURPHY: A 30-year-old woman was found to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at age 22 (1989). She also had a history of moderate asthma. She had been in her usual health until 2 months before hospitalization when nonbloody diarrhea appeared. A month later, she noted a small, yellow mass arising from her umbilicus (Figure 1). Seven days before the patient's admission to the hospital, the umbilical mass was noted to drain small amounts of clear fluid. In addition, she noted the onset of exertional dyspnea, diffuse abdominal pain, increasing abdominal girth, fever, chills, urinary frequency, dull lower back pain, and general fatigue.
