 AB    Three cases of cutaneous bacillary angiomatosis in HIV-infected patients
       are reported. They differed profoundly with respect to the extent of the
       lesions and the clinical course. In two cases, Rochalimaea quintana was
       identified by direct sequencing of the DNA amplified with the polymerase
       chain reaction (PCR), whereas an easy, rapid method based on the
       restriction length of polymorphism analysis of PCR products (PCR-RFLP)
       was used in the third case. This report illustrates the variations in
       clinical presentations and evolutive profiles in patients with bacillary
       angiomatosis, and confirms the causal role of R. quintana in this
       disease.
