Abstract
Disseminated Acanthamoeba infections and bacillary angiomatosis are among the un usual opportunistic infections encountered in patients with AIDS. We report a fatal case of disseminated Acanthamoeba palestinensis infection involving the skin, palate, brain, lungs, and testes in a patient with AIDS in whom the mucocutaneous lesions were initially interpreted clinically and pathologically as bacillary angiomatosis.
