Bronchopulmonary bacillary angiomatosis.
A man with prior AIDS developed acute febrile interstitial pneumonitis, hilar and paratracheal adenopathy, and bronchial polyps. The polyps were histologically typical for bacillary angiomatosis and complete symptomatic and radiographic response to oral clarithromycin was seen. The clinical presentation of bacillary angiomatosis includes pulmonary disease and in particular bronchial polyps; clarithromycin is an effective oral antibiotic.
