Babesiosis
Ehrlichiosis Bartonella which are all TBDs commonly carried by the same ticks that carry Lyme disease. These diseases are treated by different meds so just Lyme treatment will NOT alleviate symptoms caused by THESE critters. Babesiosis is a piroplasm like malaria. The East Coast kind, Babesia microti, often has anemia but the other kinds of babesia they have found, MO1 which can also be in the East Coast- and WA1, which is up & down the pacific coast, do NOT tend to cause anemia. Babesiosis is NOT rare in California. In 3 blood surveys of communities, the results were astounding- 18%, 16% & 3.5%!!!! The initial finding was the 18% finding and after that they decided to do a study to find how common it was by doing a very ticky area- 16% was the result there- and a non-ticky area- 3.5%!!! So there are literally likely hundreds of thousands of peopple in CA with babesiosis who don't know it. Philip Krause MD is an authority on Babesiosi but he favors limited treatment until the acute Babesiosis is gone. He is ok with continued parasitemia. Just like with Lyme, there is a treatment divide with Babesiosis. Many LLMDs will treat until someone is blood negative not just non-acute. BABESIOSIS is treated with antipiroplasmic meds, the same as malaria- Mepron, lariam, Quinine & clindamycin- EHRLICHIOSIS is also called ANAPLASMOSIS. There are 2 main kinds- HGE & HME wihch stands for Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis and Human Granulytic Ehrlichiosis. Both can cause IBS type symptoms & fevers. HME will make Lyme disease more fulminant and attack the neuro system drastically. BAD NEWS- Ehrlichiosis can be completely blood negtive even in acute, fatal cases. GOOD NEWS- Ehrlichiosis is probably the most easily treated TBD there is- you just need high dose Doxy for a few months!!! BARTONELLA Bartonella is cat scratch disease! they only discovered it was tickborne 5 or so years back. There are MANY strains pathogenic to humans and many are carried in ticks. The authority on Bartonella infections in humans is Bruno Chomel from UC Davis. Bartonella is treated by levaquin, Cipro, the quinolines. |
