I'm talking about tiny, pinprick-sized ones.

I have both babs and bart.

I have a really itchy petechiae right now ... funny, I usually only get one or two at a time.

I had both. Mine seemed to have been disappearing with Levaquin. Since they didn't go away with Mepron or other ABX that Tx Bart, I'm thinking BLO.

I think I have both too...they did not go away with babs treatment. I am now on Levaquin so I will let you know.

Posted by disturbedme (Member # 12346) on :

I have these...

I got a positive for Bart but I also have many symptoms of Babs.

Having FISH test done now. *crosses fingers*

I am pretty sure I have both since I've had the reaction I have with Babs treatment.

HI all

Yep I think the rash has to do with Babs -

I'm with petechiae. My PCR for bart is positive. My tests for babesia are negative.

Posted by Rianna (Member # 11038) on :

My LLMD said petechia is Babesia and mine broke out really bad when on mepron/ketek - he said they are an absolutly classic babs sign and its where the babesia breaks out of the bone marrow. I did not show high titres until many months after babs treatment, every test before that was negative.

Bart can show in very different skin signs they are either papules/pustules or linear lines
