Has anyone done the FISH test?

Like for Lyme babesia or Bart? Thanks everyone!

Yes and they came up negative, but I have many Bart symptoms. Igenix did the test.

Jenny ,scott f recommends galaxy ..if your looking for coinfections a simple microscope and giemsa staining kit would probably cost less than the test and be more accurate. .www.townsendletter.com/July2015/bartonellosis0715_2.html

I had it for coinfections. Bartonella came back positive but everything else was negative. Maybe that's why insurance doesn't want to pay for Alinia.
This testing business is SO frustrating and SO costly! I'm sick of spending money on boring health things. Sigh.

I'm going nuts over this. All so confusing.

I've been tested for babesia duncanii through arup labs doing a pcr and an ifa which both came back negative. Also had negative ifa through focus (quest) for Bartonella Henslae. Also, negative Lyme C6 peptide through arup, negative elisa through quest AND labcorp.

Igenex otoh, For Lyme, indeterminate igM wb, negative igG. The igenex pcr tests for Bb were negative. Babesia duncanii fish positive, ifa igM positive, igG negative.
Bartonella henslae ifa igM and IgG positive.

Pcp and id specialists won't treat me based on my igx results. My ND is at sea when it comes to Lymeco and the wait list to see an ilads doc is long. Arrrrgh.

I'm glad to see pirouette, that you're successfully treating. Without a positive test, how do you know which symptoms are from which bug? It doesn't seem like the bigwigs are even in agreement on this unless you have a bart rash or sore feet.
