Re: Bartonella --Western Blot?

[Guest guest]

Not a band on the western blot. I had a fry photographic blood smear that was

positive. My son's LLMD ordered the test from Specialty Labs, but it was

mistakenly sent to Mayo Labs and was positive.

I would be interested in other's experiences with the Igenex FISH test.

We did Igenex coinfection panel. My son was IgG positive for Bartonella. There

is no Western Blot band specific for Bartonella. But testing for coinfections

is recommended by some Lyme doctors, if band 58 is positive.
