Hi..

I seem to be getting some reddish areas on my arms.

I was wondering if anyone knew a website with good photos of bartonella rashes so I could compare.

I figure you guys would know a credible site with good pics.

If you wonder why I am looking for bart instead of other stuff it is because of the med I am taking.

Maybe its not related to anything but they werent there a couple hours ago.

Thank You so much guys [bow]

We have been looking, but I don't think there is such a site except some slide that was quoted on this board a few times.
For the moment: any rash could indicate Bart. Just do the Bart test in IgeneX.

actually I have been tested through Igenex came up negative.

But since negative doesnt always mean you dont have it I was curious if there was a "typical" rash or rashes.

Thank You [Smile]

Dr. M.F. of NJ has made a few presentations at the lyme conferences about the dermatological manifestations of lyme and co-infections. I have seen these myself. The bart. rashes that he has pictures of look like stretch marks or striations on the skin.

If you go to www.lymediseaseassociation.org and look at the left-hand menu, there is a specific link to Bart rash photos.

However, it only shows the classic streaky, stretch-mark types.

My Bart test did not turn positive until after I had been on Levaquin. While on Levaquin, I developed a huge rash of red, raised, oval, hive-like things.

I went off Levaquin thinking I was having an allergic reaction. But my LLMD said it also could have been Bart reaction to the Levaquin.

In one of Dr. B's speeches I have on DVD (but haven't watched for a while), I believe he said it could be the streaky or red papule style rash (or maybe it's in his guidelines).

Right, Bart test result can fluctuate in some people. May be positive at some times and negative at other. You may want to retest again in a few months.

I found this on Bartonella.

http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org./Videos_Philadelphia_Medical_Conference.html

At the bottom of the page click on :

Martin Fried, MD (Coinfections Associated with Abdominal Pain)
Rtsp://ldarm.webcastcenter.com/lda/lda04_mfried.rm

There is alot of info on Bart and some pics also.

My sons used to have these marks but are gone now with treatment (Minocycline)

Here are some pics of dermatological cases of Catscratch fever (Bartonella) - if you scroll down to Picture 5, this looks like the recurring rash my son has had over the years which I think is related to his PCR postitive Bart infection.
His is usually very itchy and spreads for several days - Benadryl helps. He's also had the stretch mark lesions which are much better right now.
