ABSTRACT Malabsorption is a complex and multifaceted condition characterised by the defective passage of nutrients into the blood and lymphatic streams. Several congenital or acquired disorders may cause either selective or global malabsorption in both children and adults, such as cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), coeliac ...

Spondylodiscitis as the first manifestation of Whipple's disease -a removal worker with chronic low back pain [PDF]
Whipple's disease is a rare systemic infectious disease caused by the actinobacterium Tropheryma whipplei. Spondylodiscitis is an extremely rare manifestation of the infection and has previously been described in only three case reports.

Deadly Carousel or Difficult Interpretation of New Diagnostic Tools for Whipple's Disease: Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]
: Whipple's disease is a rare systemic disorder classically presenting with weight loss, arthralgias, and diarrhea, which was first described in 1907. The causative bacterium Tropheryma whipplei, is a fastidious organism not growing on conventional media.

Resistance to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and Tropheryma whipplei [PDF]
Whipple's disease (WD) is a chronic infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei. A 1-year treatment of oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) is commonly used. Advances in the culture of T. whipplei have allowed for full genome sequencing and antibiotic susceptibility testing, which has demonstrated resistance of T. whipplei to trimethoprim.
