EPITHELIOID HAEMANGIOMA-LIKE VASCULAR PROLIFERATION IN AIDS: MANIFESTATION OF CAT SCRATCH DISEASE BACILLUS INFECTION?
Open accessAbstract
Papular and nodular skin lesions that clinically resembled Kaposi sarcoma, but histologically showed a distinct epithelioid haemangioma-like appearance, were noted in seven patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Clusters of bacteria that had the structure of gram-negative rods were identified within each of the vascular proliferations by electron microscopy. The bacteria did not stain with the Brown-Brenn, acid-fast, or other histochemical stains for infectious organisms, but did stain with Warthin-Starry--ie, the staining profile was that described for the cat scratch disease (CSD) bacillus. Immunoperoxidase staining, using antisera raised in rabbits against cultured CSD bacillus, showed a positive reaction with the bacterium in all five cases tested. The two surviving patients have both given histories of having been scratched by a cat. In several patients, the vascular lesions regressed after therapy with antibiotics appropriate for CSD bacillus infection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
