Whipple s disease is a rare malabsorption syndrome, which usually occurs in men aged 30-60 years of age. It is caused by a bacterium, Tropheryma whippelii, which infiltrates the mucosa of the small intestine. The symptoms are characterised by arthritis, steatorrhea, weight loss, abdominal pain, fever and weakness. Treatment consists of prolonged administration of antibacterial drugs and the correction of nutritional deficiencies. [Pg.162]
