Zusammenfassung
Der M. Whipple ist eine systemische bakterielle Krankheit, die hauptsächlich die männliche weiße Bevölkerung im mittleren Lebensalter betrifft mit Befall des Darms und seiner Lymphabflußwege, des Herzens, der Gelenke sowie des Zentralnervensystems (ZNS). Sie ist durch folgende Symptome gekennzeichnet: Arthralgien, Durchfälle, abdominelle Schmerzen Gewichtsverlust. Weitere häufige Symptome sind: Lymphadenopathie, Fieber, verstärkte Pigmentierung der Haut. Die Gewebe zeigen eine Infiltration mit Makrophagen, die sich intensiv PAS-positiv anfärben.
