newbie here- is bartonella & cat scratch fever the same thing? If someone is diagnosed w/ cat scratch, should they also be tested for lyme? My Sister had cat scratch fever over a year ago and now has symptons similar to my lyme symptons. Maybe she has been misdiagnosed along with so many others

I tested post for Bart and yet I don't remember any of those rashes. Can you contract it from mosquitos?? I had tons of mosq bites on the East coast.
