Hello-- I have Bartonella Henselae(tested positive) and have had numerous relapses. Can anyone suggest a antibiotic combo with no relapsing. I'm currently on KETEK and DOXY. Has anyone used this before? Any help greatly appreciated! Posts: 2 | From North Carolina | Registered: Jun 2014

Hi Eddie,
I did rifampin and zith, rifampin and mino, rifampin and doxy. 4-6 months on the above. Then levoquin along with lyme treatment for "clean up"
I relapsed just last month. (six months with no bart symptoms)
Now I am on a-bart and csa.
Wish I had not relapsed and wish I had some good combos for you.
Hang in there Eddie. Bart is a beast of a bug.

Here is a page from a lyme book that will give you more treatment ideas:
Burrascano also says that if a patient continually relapses, look for an untreated coinfection. So, if you have already tried the standard bartonella treatments, it may be time to consider coinfections that you have not treated.
