Bacillary angiomatosis is a rare infectious disease usually occuring in immunodeficent patients with a history of contact with cats.It is characterized by angiomatous lesions and systemic involvement may occur.There are only a few case reports about bacillary angiomatosis in immunocompenent individuals.We report a 23-year-old immunocompetent man without history of contact with cats, whose diagnose was based on the demonstrations of bacilli in histopathological sections stained with the reticulin silver dye.

Özet
Basiller anjiomatozis, genellikle kedilerle temas öyküsü olan immün yetmezlikli kişilerde gelişen, nadir görülen bir infeksiyon hastalığıdır. Anjiomatöz deri lezyonları ile karakterize bu tabloda sistemik tutulum bulunabilir. Hastalığın immünolojik yönden sağlam kişilerde görüldüğüne dair az sayıda bildiri mevcuttur. Bu makalede immün yetmezliği ve kedilerle temas öyküsü bulunmayan, histopatolojik kesitlerde retikülin gümüş boyamasıyla basiller gösterilerek basiller anjiomatozis tanısı alan 23 yaşındaki bir erkek hasta sunulmuştur.
