Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 3 year old granddaughter was bitten by a deer tick. We had the tick tested. It came back negative for borrelia (thankfully) but positive for Rickettsia endosymbiont and bartonella. We know about bartonella but can find nothing about whether this type of Rickettsia is pathogenic. (Her doc is currently unavailable.). What can you tell us? Judy Robinson YYYY@YYYY
