Dr. Kaufman patients. Anyone Bartonella positive in Galaxy Lab being treated here?

He tested me for Bartonella via galaxy and it came back negative. I resisted getting a tissue sample for awhile due to cost, but he kept insisting that he thought I had Bartonella, so I finally relented and sure enough it came back positive. Silly me!

My gp took a tissue sample in my upper arm and it was cultured by galaxy for I think about 3 weeks.

Was it a skin or muscle biopsy? Was there a skin lesion at that particular spot or was the biopsy taken on random?
