Disease relevance of Whipple Disease

 

High impact information on Whipple Disease

  • The 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the cultured bacterium was identical to the sequence for Tropheryma whippelii identified previously in tissue samples from patients with Whipple's disease [6].
  • The bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequence was amplified directly from tissues of five unrelated patients with Whipple's disease by means of the polymerase chain reaction, first with broad-range primers and then with specific primers [7].
  • Before therapy, DNA of T. whippelii was detected in all 30 patients with Whipple's disease from whom formalin-fixed biopsy material was available, whereas Bouin-fixed material was negative [8].
  • Polymerase chain reaction of cerebrospinal fluid to diagnose Whipple's disease [9].
  • We report a patient with Whipple's disease who was treated with TMP-SMX and presented 14 months after initiation of therapy with visual decline and severe headaches [10].
