Bartonella może zarażać narządy i tkanki w całym organizmie
Bartonella jest zakażeniem bakteryjnym Gram-ujemne bakterie które mogą być przenoszone przez owady, pchły, wszy, moskity [1], odchody pcheł, [2] roztocza [3], przez kleszcze [4], pająki [5] lub pluskwy. [6]
Ta infekcja tez może być przekazywana przez ugryzienie zakażonych zwierząt [7], zadrapania [8] lub ewentualnie poprzez transfuzję krwi [9] lub narządu. [10] Istnieje około trzydziestu gatunków Bartonella z tego 17 może zarażać ludzi [11]. Te bakterie stwierdzono przy zapaleniu wątroby, węzłów chłonnych, skóry [12], zębów [13], kości, serce, śledziona, oczy, nerki i mózgu [14].
Ta infekcja wykorzystuje układ krwionośny do rozprzestrzeniania się po całym organizmie..
Bartonella stymuluje wytwarzanie czynnika wzrostu śródbłonka naczyniowego (VEGF)
Antybiotyki są bardzo skuteczne w zabijaniu Bartonella w laboratorium, ale nie sa już tak skuteczne u ludzi.
antybiotyki które zabijają Bartonella:
amoksycylina i ceftriakson, aminoglikozydy, doksycyklina, ryfampicyna, erytromycyna, doksycyklina i cyprofloksacynę [18].
nawroty choroby po używaniu tych antybiotykow :
ryfampicyna, cyprofloksacyna, gentamycyna, współ-trimoksazolem i azytromycyny [19].
Jedną z przyczyn niepowodzenia leczenia to to ze są szczepy Bartonella odporne na :
antybiotyki : chinolony [20], ryfampicyna [21], makrolidy [22], fluorochinolony [23], a gentamycyna [24].
Inną przyczyną niepowodzenia leczenia antybiotykami to to ze bakterie Bartonella tworzą biofilm ( otaczają się żelem, który powoduje iż bakterie staja się niewidoczne dla układu odpornościowego i antybiotyków
W jednym z badań, B. QUINTANA odkryto w egzopolisacharydu (EPS) - w kale wszy [25].
Uważa się, że biofilm powoduje WZROST lekooporności nawet do tysiąca razy. [26]
Ta infekcja może produkować szeroką gamę objawów fizycznych i emocjonalnych.Bartonella może powodować wiele objawów psychicznych. Takich jak :
złość , wściekłość i zaburzenia obsesyjno-kompulsywne (OCD)
Zakażenie Bartonella może powodować objawy niedokrwistości [27],
częste bóle głowy, halucynacje wzrokowe i słuchowe, lęk, utrata wzroku, paraliż, porażenie nerwu twarzowego, chroniczną bezsenność, drgawki, zawroty głowy, zaburzenia funkcji poznawczych i utrata pamięci. [28]
Bartonella naśladuje objawy stwardnienia rozsianego (MS) [29], udar [30], zapalenienaczyń [31], nowotwory piersi, trzustki, dróg żółciowych i rak gardła [32] choroby reumatyczne [33].
Gniew, wściekłość i obsesyjno-kompulsywne zachowania przy Bartonella u pacjenta [34].

..... ,,And while flea-infested cats are known for transmitting Bartonella henselae, here’s a case Breitschwerdt published involving an 11-year old Ottawa girl who presumably got a Bartonella henselae infection after nursing an oozing abscess in an ill dog the family adopted from a shelter. The dog had been certified healthy. The child suddenly developed headaches, difficulty walking and weakness on her left side. According to the case study, “A few weeks later, the girl developed flu-like symptoms followed by progressive neurological abnormalities.” Three years after the exposure, “the patient experienced frequent headaches, chest pain, visual and auditory hallucinations, anxiety, ocular floaters, severe depression, and fatigue. Additional episodes of partial paralysis occurred.” Eleven years later, after seeing a physician in Vancouver, Canada (2,700 miles west of Ottawa) the child finally received a diagnosis and treatment.
My daughter’s Bartonella infection came from two simultaneous tick bites, and like many people infected with Bartonella, she developed a distinctive red-streaked rash. She suffered from headaches, dizziness and neurological symptoms, consistent with neurobartonellosis. She spent more time in bed than out. Four years after the initial bites (and numerous doctor visits) a psychiatrist diagnosed Bartonella when he saw her rashes,,.....................

Bartonella jest zakażeniem bakteryjnym Gram-ujemne bakterie które mogą być przenoszone przez owady, pchły, wszy, moskity [1], odchody pcheł, [2] roztocza [3], przez kleszcze [4], pająki [5] lub pluskwy. [6]
Ta infekcja tez może być przekazywana przez ugryzienie zakażonych zwierząt [7], zadrapania [8] lub ewentualnie poprzez transfuzję krwi [9] lub narządu. [10] Istnieje około trzydziestu gatunków Bartonella z tego 17 może zarażać ludzi [11]. Te bakterie stwierdzono przy zapaleniu wątroby, węzłów chłonnych, skóry [12], zębów [13], kości, serce, śledziona, oczy, nerki i mózgu [14].
Ta infekcja wykorzystuje układ krwionośny do rozprzestrzeniania się po całym organizmie..
Bartonella stymuluje wytwarzanie czynnika wzrostu śródbłonka naczyniowego (VEGF)
Antybiotyki są bardzo skuteczne w zabijaniu Bartonella w laboratorium, ale nie sa już tak skuteczne u ludzi.
antybiotyki które zabijają Bartonella:
amoksycylina i ceftriakson, aminoglikozydy, doksycyklina, ryfampicyna, erytromycyna, doksycyklina i cyprofloksacynę [18].
nawroty choroby po używaniu tych antybiotykow :
ryfampicyna, cyprofloksacyna, gentamycyna, współ-trimoksazolem i azytromycyny [19].
Jedną z przyczyn niepowodzenia leczenia to to ze są szczepy Bartonella odporne na :
antybiotyki : chinolony [20], ryfampicyna [21], makrolidy [22], fluorochinolony [23], a gentamycyna [24].
Inną przyczyną niepowodzenia leczenia antybiotykami to to ze bakterie Bartonella tworzą biofilm ( otaczają się żelem, który powoduje iż bakterie staja się niewidoczne dla układu odpornościowego i antybiotyków
W jednym z badań, B. QUINTANA odkryto w egzopolisacharydu (EPS) - w kale wszy [25].
Uważa się, że biofilm powoduje WZROST lekooporności nawet do tysiąca razy. [26]
Ta infekcja może produkować szeroką gamę objawów fizycznych i emocjonalnych.Bartonella może powodować wiele objawów psychicznych. Takich jak :
złość , wściekłość i zaburzenia obsesyjno-kompulsywne (OCD)
Zakażenie Bartonella może powodować objawy niedokrwistości [27],
częste bóle głowy, halucynacje wzrokowe i słuchowe, lęk, utrata wzroku, paraliż, porażenie nerwu twarzowego, chroniczną bezsenność, drgawki, zawroty głowy, zaburzenia funkcji poznawczych i utrata pamięci. [28]
Bartonella naśladuje objawy stwardnienia rozsianego (MS) [29], udar [30], zapalenienaczyń [31], nowotwory piersi, trzustki, dróg żółciowych i rak gardła [32] choroby reumatyczne [33].
Gniew, wściekłość i obsesyjno-kompulsywne zachowania przy Bartonella u pacjenta [34].

..... ,,And while flea-infested cats are known for transmitting Bartonella henselae, here’s a case Breitschwerdt published involving an 11-year old Ottawa girl who presumably got a Bartonella henselae infection after nursing an oozing abscess in an ill dog the family adopted from a shelter. The dog had been certified healthy. The child suddenly developed headaches, difficulty walking and weakness on her left side. According to the case study, “A few weeks later, the girl developed flu-like symptoms followed by progressive neurological abnormalities.” Three years after the exposure, “the patient experienced frequent headaches, chest pain, visual and auditory hallucinations, anxiety, ocular floaters, severe depression, and fatigue. Additional episodes of partial paralysis occurred.” Eleven years later, after seeing a physician in Vancouver, Canada (2,700 miles west of Ottawa) the child finally received a diagnosis and treatment.
My daughter’s Bartonella infection came from two simultaneous tick bites, and like many people infected with Bartonella, she developed a distinctive red-streaked rash. She suffered from headaches, dizziness and neurological symptoms, consistent with neurobartonellosis. She spent more time in bed than out. Four years after the initial bites (and numerous doctor visits) a psychiatrist diagnosed Bartonella when he saw her rashes,,.....................
