Abstract
Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is newly reported infectious disease observed mainly in HIV-infected patients, caused by a small gram-negative bacillus of the Rochalimea genus. From a purely dermatological presentation similar to that of Kaposi's sarcoma, it may evolve into a systemic disease. Bone lesions seem fairly frequent. We report a case of an isolated osteolytic lesion due to the BA bacillus.
