“…It was renamed Whipple's disease in 1949 upon description of the sine qua non of this disorder, accumulation of macrophages in the lamina propria with intensely PAS positive intracellular material [69]. An infectious etiology was suspected as early as Whipple's initial observation; however, successful treatment with antibiotics was not reported until 1952 [70]. There are four cardinal clinical manifestations of Whipple's disease [71]: arthralgias, weight loss, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.…”

“…Die Erkrankung verlief in der Regel fatal. Erst die Einführung einer antibiotischen Therapie 1952 durch Paulley verbesserte den Verlauf der Infektion drastisch [2]. Die bakterielle Genese der Erkrankung wurde weiter durch elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen gefestigt [3], bei denen sich stäbchenförmi-ge Strukturen mit einer für Bakterien typischen trilaminären Wand nachweisen ließen.…”

“…Hierdurch ist die früher häufig fatal verlaufende Erkrankung in ihrer Prognose deutlich verbessert worden [2].Aufgrund der Seltenheit der Erkrankung liegen bisher keine randomisierten Studien vor, zurzeit wird eine unter der Leitung von Prof. Feurle (Neuwied) stehende Therapiestudie (SIMW, Tel. : 02631/981401; E-Mail: g.feurle@uni-bonn.de) durchgeführt.…”

“…Histological criteria for Whipple's disease, periodic acid-Schiff reagent (PAS)-positivity of inclusions in macrophages found in the intestines and mesenteric lymph nodes of patients with the disease, were summarized by Black-Schaffer in 1949 [3]. Further support for bacteria as the cause of Whipple's disease was provided by the first successful treatment of a patient with chloramphenicol in 1952 [4]. In 1961, the rod-shaped structures in the intestinal mucosa and within intestinal macrophages were demonstrated by electron microscopy to have the structural characteristics of bacteria [5].…”
