Whipple's disease is a chronic systemic infectious disease caused by Tropheryma whippelii that typically involves the small intestine and causes malabsorption. Extraintestinal manifestations such as arthritis and fever are common and often exist prior to the onset of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Patient 1: A 55-year-old-man developed right facial twitching followed 6 months later by somnolence, blurred vision, and imbalance. He noticed that the facial twitching spread to his neck and tongue, and his family noticed that it persisted in sleep.

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1998
Whipple's disease is a chronic, multisystem disease that is caused by Tropheryma whippelii infection. More information is now known about this unusual infectious process, which was once considered uniformly fatal. Immunologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic advancements are reviewed in this article.

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2002
Whipple's disease is a chronic systemic bacterial infection that predominantly affects middle-aged men. Antimicrobial therapy is curative. The causative agent has been identified as Tropheryma whippelii. A PCR-based diagnostic test is now available and is particularly useful in patients with early-stage or atypical disease.

Whipple's disease (WD) is a chronic debilitating disease caused by the bacillus Tropheryma whippleii. WD classically presents with the main clinical symptoms of polyarthralgias, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal pain. Given its systemic involvement, it is common for WD to present with a multitude of other clinical scenarios--sometimes with ...

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1957
In the half century since Whipple first described the disease which continues to bear his name, only 50 or 60 cases have been reported, and the validity of several of these is in question. In recent years there has been renewed interest in Whipple's disease (intestinal lipodystrophy) because of its possible response to steroid therapy.

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2003
Whipple disease is a rare disease caused by infection with the bacterium Tropheryma whippelii. Humans are the only known host for the infection. The signs of systemic infection include gastrointestinal problems, weight loss, and arthritis. Signs of central nervous system infection include cognitive changes, supranuclear gaze palsy, altered level of ...

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2008
The availability of and advantages in molecular technology and immunology have led to an improved understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of Whipple disease. As this rare infection represents a model disease reflecting the input of novel findings into clinical medicine and therapy, this review intends to highlight newer findings and put them in ...

Whipple's disease is a rare, chronic, systemic infectious disorder with prominent intestinal manifestations. It presents with weight loss, arthralgia, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. There are different entities of infection or carriage, respectively, classical Whipple's disease, localized WD, and Isolated Neurological WD.

A 50 year old man lost 50 lb, passed bulky stools, and complained of joint pain. He was pigmented and had large nodes. PAS dye stained granules in mesenteric and axillary nodes and macrophages in the jejunal mucosa. Antibiotic treatment resulted in remission of symptoms.
