Do people with Bartonella have a rash?
The rash/lesion that is typically associated with Bartonella may not be present in patients or may not be noticed. If there is a rash/lesion, it may appear to be a small reddish brown lesion (often mistaken for an insect bite). It may heal without intervention. The patient exposed to Bartonella may have urticaria, vesiculopapular lesions, or erythema nodosums. Many Bartonella patients have swollen and/or tender lymph nodes which may become infected.
