I've seen a few people mention levaquin. I've been on IV levaquin for about a month, no obvious effects. Some say oral is sufficient.

i am also looking into other good meds (not levaquin or cipro- had a bad reaction years ago to these drugs when i used them for a bladder infection).

Rifampin really helped me.

I took Rifampin with Doxy on the weekdays.

And then Doxy and Biaxin on the weekends.

Biaxin, Azithromycin are proving to be Bart killers. One year on Biaxin and I am bart free.

I'm on Zith & Rifampin alternating days.

High doses of the herb Cumanda are also supposed to help kill the Bart.

I have heard from some folks out here in CA that Doryx/Septra/Zith is a successful bartonella combo.

The latest I've heard is that bart needs at least 2 different abx used together.
