Recent research indicates that antibiotics used to treat other HIV opportunistic infections can both prevent and treat bacillary angiomatosis. Treatment is usually given until the lesions disappear, which typically takes three or four weeks. A severely affected lymph node or blister may have to be drained, and a heating pad may help swollen, tender lymph glands. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may relieve pain, aches, and fever over 101°F (38.3°C).
