| *Whipple's disease is a rare bacterial systemic infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei.<ref name="pmid18291339">{{cite journal |vauthors=Schneider T, Moos V, Loddenkemper C, Marth T, Fenollar F, Raoult D |title=Whipple's disease: new aspects of pathogenesis and treatment |journal=Lancet Infect Dis |volume=8 |issue=3 |pages=179–90 |year=2008 |pmid=18291339 |doi=10.1016/S1473-3099(08)70042-2 |url=}}</ref>
| |
| *Tropheryma whipplei is a periodic acid-Schiff stain positive, gram-positive bacillus of actinomycetes family.
| |
| * The bacteria lives in soil and wastewater. Farmers and everyone who has any contact with contaminated soil and water are in high risk of the infection.
| |
| *It is transmitted through oro-oral and feco-oral routes.
| |
| *It is believed that human being is the only reservoir for this bacteria.
| |
| *It invades primarily intestines and then every other organ including the heart, brain, joints, skin, lungs and the eyes.
| |
| * Tropheryma whipplei infection has four different manifestations: acute infection, the classic Whipple’s disease, chronic carrier state<ref name="StreetDonoghue1999">{{cite journal|last1=Street|first1=Sara|last2=Donoghue|first2=Helen D|last3=Neild|first3=GH|title=Tropheryma whippelii DNA in saliva of healthy people|journal=The Lancet|volume=354|issue=9185|year=1999|pages=1178–1179|issn=01406736|doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(99)03065-2}}</ref>, localized chronic infection.

| ==Genetics== | |
| *[Disease name] is transmitted in [mode of genetic transmission] pattern.
| |
| *Genes involved in the pathogenesis of [disease name] include [gene1], [gene2], and [gene3]. | |
| *The development of [disease name] is the result of multiple genetic mutations.

| ==Gross Pathology==
| |
| *On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].

| ==Microscopic Pathology==
| |
| *On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name]. | |
