www.galaxydx.com/web/human-health/recommendations/Benefits of Bartonella Culture+PCR TestingBacteria of the genus Bartonella are extremely challenging to detect in patient samples. When present, these bacteria infect at very low levels so even a highly sensitive PCR assay may not detect bacterial DNA in the patient sample, thereby producing a high number of false negative results. The BAPGM platform (Bartonella Enrichment Culture+PCR) methodology was developed to improve diagnostic sensitivity and to minimize the possibility of false negative test results.
Besonders würde ich dir diese private Info-Sammlung eines Betroffenen mit vielen Links empfehlen:Ich möchte mich nun aber weiter mit der Möglichkeit einer Bartonellen-Infektion beschäftigen und trage derzeit alle Informationen zusammen, die mir so über den Weg laufen, damit ich dem Arzt was vorzuweisen habe
Ich fände es gut wenn wir hier die Symptome der Coinfektionen zusammentragen könnten. Es wäre wichtig, da es maßgeblich so scheint, als ob ein Großteil der Borreliose Erkrankungen evtl. gar keine reine Borreliosen sind sondern manchmal auch Bartonella oder Babesien Infektionen, oder auch beides oder alles gemischt. Das ist schwierig, weil es kaum Tests gibt.
Es ist aber wichtig, weil es Fälle gibt wo AB nichts nützt oder wenig bringt. Die Co-Infektionen brauchen aber andere AB's... Das Thema ist kompliziert und viel unerforschter als Borreliose.
Aus dem Lymenet....
Bartonellosis
Common symptoms of bartonellosis include:
___Fatigue (often with agitation, unlike Lyme disease, which is more exhaustion)
___Low grade fevers, especially morning and/or late afternoon, often associated with feelings of "coming down with the flu or a virus"
___Sweats, often morning or late afternoon (sometimes at night) - often described as "thick" or "sticky" in nature
___Headaches, especially frontal (often confused with sinus) or on top of head
___Eye symptoms including episodes of blurred vision, red eyes, dry eyes
___Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and sometimes hearing problems (decreased or even increased sensitivity - so-called hyperacusis)
___Sore throats (recurring)
___Swollen glands, especially neck and under arms
___Anxiety and worry attacks; others perceive as "very anxious"
___Episodes of confusion and disorientation that are usually transient (and very scary); often can be seizure-like in nature
___Poor sleep (especially difficulty falling asleep); poor sleep quality
___Joint pain and stiffness (often both Left and Right sides as opposed to Lyme which is often on one side only with pain and stiffness that changes locations)
___Muscle pains especially the calves; may be twitching and cramping also
___Foot pain, more in the morning involving the heels or soles of the feet (sometimes misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis)
___Nerve irritation symptoms which can be described as burning, vibrating, numb, shooting, etc.
___Tremors and/or muscle twitching
___Heart palpitations and strange chest pains
___Episodes of breathlessness
___Strange rashes recurring on the body often, red stretch marks, and peculiar tender lumps and nodules along the sides of the legs or arms, spider veins
___Gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal pain and acid reflux
___Shin bone pain and tenderness
Bartonella is a bacterium that causes illness, the most commonly known of which is a disease called "Cat Scratch Fever." Thousands of known cases of Bartonella occur in the U.S. each Year, with the vast majority of known cases due to bites from fleas that infest cats or infected dogs (may also occur directly from bites and scratches from infected dogs or cats). Bartonella can also be transmitted by ticks that transmit Lyme Disease. In fact, in a study published recently, deer ticks from New Jersey had a higher prevalence of Bartonella organisms than of Lyme organisms.
It is unclear whether the organism that we see transmitted along with Lyme disease is actually a Bartonella species (such as B. henselae or B. quintana) or is "Bartonella-Like Organism" (BLO) that is yet to be fully identified. While BLO has features similar to organisms in the Bartonella family, it also has features slimiar to the Mycoplasma and the Francisella (causes tularemia) families.

[ Lyme)
Veröffentlichungen zufolge weisen 66 % der Borreliosepatienten Symptome einer Co-Infektion mit Babesia microti auf.
Subklinische Formen der Infektion werden oftmals übersehen, da
die Symptome fälschlicherweise der Lyme-Borreliose zugeschrieben werden.
...für die Zeckenuntersuchung hatte ich sogar noch höhere Ergebniszahlen im Kopf
Babesien kann man hierzulande nur mit einem LTT nachweisen, oder??
weil B. microti macht ja wenig Sinn.
Hat jemand Babesien nachgewiesen?
Soviel ich weiß, werden die Babesien nur über den Elisa und über PCR nachgewiesen.
