A member asked:
Could bartonella cause demyielination lession by itself without having lyme too?did lots lyme wb tests and are negative.just bartonella is present
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Might have Lyme: Bartonella can cause many neurological symptoms; i don't know if it causes demyelinating lesions. However, 20-30% of those with lyme do not show positive WB tests, so negative tests do not rule out lyme. Did your WB test the 31 & 34 bands? If not get one that does (igenex). The WB measures immune response. Those most ill may be negative. Taking anti-lyme herbs/antibiotics may turn the WB positive.
