Ordering the Bartonella hensefae PCR Whole Blood | New York

This test detects Bartonella hensefae DNA in whole blood, helping to identify active or persistent infection. It is often used when symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, or unexplained rashes are present, especially after exposure to cats or ticks. Interestingly, Bartonella hensefae can sometimes cause eye inflammation or heart problems, which may not be immediately linked to infection.

Ordering this test provides several specific benefits:

  • Pinpoints active Bartonella hensefae infection, not just past exposure.
  • Helps guide treatment decisions for persistent or unexplained symptoms.
  • Supports diagnosis when other tests, like antibody tests, are inconclusive.
  • Can detect infection even in people with weakened immune systems.
  • Offers a fast turnaround time for results, usually within 7 to 10 business days.

Who Should Consider Bartonella and Vector-Borne Disease Testing

People who have ongoing fatigue, joint pain, or skin lesions after a tick bite or cat scratch may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has had weeks of unexplained fever and swollen glands after adopting a stray kitten may want to check for Bartonella hensefae infection.

Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:

  • Unexplained neurological symptoms, such as headaches or confusion, that do not improve with standard care.
  • Persistent muscle pain or joint swelling after outdoor activities in tick-prone areas.
  • Recurring rashes or skin lesions that do not respond to typical treatments.
  • Eye inflammation or vision changes with no clear cause.
  • Heart inflammation or irregular heartbeat in someone with a history of animal exposure, which is less commonly recognized as a sign of Bartonella infection.

This test can help confirm or rule out Bartonella hensefae infection, allowing for targeted treatment and monitoring. Delaying this test may allow the infection to persist, making symptoms harder to manage and possibly leading to more complex health issues.

How to Prepare for Bartonella hensefae DNA Detection

Fasting is not required before this test, so you can eat and drink as usual. Always follow any instructions your doctor or healthcare provider gives you to make sure your sample is collected correctly and your results are as useful as possible.
