- W3202272867 abstract "Whipple's disease is a systemic chronic bacterial infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei, a gram-positive bacillus. T. whipplei infection in the small intestine often causes malabsorption and is often accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. In this report, we describe our experience with a case of Whipple's disease in which the affected patient did not have the typical gastrointestinal symptoms. The patient was an 80-year-old male who presented with complaints of weight loss and lower leg edema due to malabsorption and shortness of breath during exertion. A blood test revealed a decreased albumin level and an elevated C-reactive protein level. Endoscopic images revealed diffuse white villi, the presence of which extended from the duodenum to the upper jejunum. We made a diagnosis of Whipple's disease based on pathological findings associated with the duodenum, electron microscopic findings, and findings of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests (performed using mucosal tissue). Clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings improved with antibiotics. Real-time PCR tests were performed for a quantitative evaluation of the effect of treatment. Endoscopy is useful for diagnosing Whipple's disease when there is an absence of gastrointestinal symptoms, and hypoalbuminemia of unknown etiology is observed." @default.
