Good afternoon all,

Can anyine help me with more information, please?
If you have more to add to what I have, please feel free to add them here, and IF you are able...please also add a citation or source of information.

Thanks so much!
Melanie

what about staph and strep, can they be considered co-infections? Also wondering about pseudonomas as a possible co-infection.. anyone?

Hi
Dr. B's guidelines (turnthecorner or ILADS site) I think has good references for most of these

Good evening CST,

Thank you for your reply. I am afraid I may not be making my request clear...my fault.

I have links and citations for all that I have listed already...I was asking for additional other co-infections that I may have forgotten to list, or for references to the ones that Gabby listed.

Melanie,
I don't know if I am spelling this right, but my holistic doctor told me I had this one. I am spelling it phonetically from how he pronounced it. It means "tick fever".....Ekrongruben feeber.

A very important coinfection is

Chlamydia pneumoniae

In Germany that's what every LLMD is testing for and I'm very astonished that in the US - as it seems - nobody is interested in it.

It is also a very tough bug and very hard to get rid of.

Gabrielle

P.S. I just noted that you only asked for tick borne infections. I think Chlamydia are NOT tick borne but they can complicate your illness as well.
