What Is Bartonella?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
The treatment for bartonellosis depends on the specific disease caused, with different antibiotics being more or less effective against certain species. Some cases will pass regardless of treatment but treatment is still given where possible. This is especially the case in patients that have a weakened immune system.
In many instances, it is also necessary to treat the symptoms that have been caused by the infection. The symptoms caused can result in fairly mild symptoms, while in other cases the disease can cause symptoms that are life threatening. The disease might also go on to cause further medical conditions in some patients.
