To all.....


I have been told by my Infectious Disease doctor today that my Bart. test came back positive....

Although that is considered bad news, I at least now know that I have a coinfection of Lyme.

I am still unsure whether the Lyme is still alive and kicking I now know it will be more difficult to decipher between the two.Can Bart. be cured?... My blood results state that I have had it for a year or longer, so the "ducktor" states .... If it can be cured how long does it take?

I will be taking antibiotics... unsure of which one... so the JOURNEY continues... I will update as soon as I find out more info..

thanks to all... I really appreciate all the advice... If anyone can think of anything else please let me know...

Treatment for Bart is different than Lyme.

You must consider and treat any co-infection as a separate condition. Althought there may be some overlap to kill Lyme you gotta get rid of bart on it's own.

Bart is a blood borne parasite and can be re-tested after treatment to see progress or reduction in counts per say 1000 cells.

Im taking Rifanthim (sp) and Minocycling (sp) for bart right now. Been on it for 3 weeks and feeling better on and off.

Working with a great LLMD on above.

Positive 10 bands WB IGG & IGM
+ Babesia + Bartonolla and NOW RMSF 3/5/09 all at Quest

And still positive ELISA and WB two years after IV treatment

It's Rifampin and Minocycline.
