Can Doxycycline And Azithromycin Together Be Effective For Treating Bartonella?
I am taking Doxcycline and rifampicin daily for Bartonella. I have Lyme disease and co-infections. I have now come up in a scaly rash on the back of the top of my legs and was wondering if this was a reaction to the Rifampicin? Can Doxcycline and azithromycin together be effectife for treating bartonella?
