What Are The Symptoms Of A Bartonella Rash?
Hi, My 15 yr old son has what appears to be horizontal stretch marks across the middle of his back. He s had them for a while but in recent weeks has developed a lot more. He has lost about 20 lbs of fat in the last 10 months and is weight training regularly. How do you determine without a doubt they are in fact only stretch marks or Bartonella rash?

Hi,
Stretch marks are not itchy. And Bartonella is bacterial infection to be diagnosed by lab tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
