Re: Bartonella
A veterinary doctor enden almost up in Wheel chair for life, got MS diagnose by doctors. But he had bartonella:
"Thus began his journey through the medical system. One physician suspected a herpes virus. Another thought it might be Guillain-Barre, a rare neurological syndrome in which the body’s immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. Following an MRI and spinal tap, Barnes was told he had MS and that he would likely end up in a wheelchair.
Barnes was not so sure. “I wasn’t trying to balk at the diagnosis but because I had this huge fever (five months earlier) in December when all of this started, I thought maybe I had something else,” he said. “It sounded more inflammatory and (like an) infection.”
By chance, while conferring with a colleague at Texas A&M University about an oncology case, Barnes mentioned his condition. The colleague knew Breitschwerdt was doing a study involving veterinarians and veterinary technicians. She recommended Barnes get in touch with him.
It turned out that Barnes had an infection of B. henselae, the same species of Bartonella that causes cat scratch disease. His case and that of five other similarly infected patients was published in a study that appeared in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology in September 2008."
