Overview
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host. Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell. [Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells]. The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway]. The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Whipple's disease is a rare bacterial systemic infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei.[1]
- Tropheryma whipplei is a periodic acid-Schiff stain positive, gram-positive bacillus of actinomycetes family.[2]
- The bacterium lives in soil and wastewater. Farmers and everyone who has any contact with contaminated soil and water are at high risk of the infection.
- It is transmitted through oro-oral and feco-oral routes. The poor sanitation is associated with T. whipplei infection. [3]
- It is believed that human being is the only reservoir for this bacterium.[4]
- It invades intestines primarily and then every other organ including the heart, CNS, joints, lymph nodes, skin, lungs and the eyes.
- Tropheryma whipplei infection has four different manifestations: acute infection, the classic Whipple’s disease, asymptomatic carrier state, and localized chronic infection.[5] [6]
- It is believed that host immunologic response to the microorganism plays an important role on the clinical manifestation of the disease.[7]
Immunologic response
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.
Associated Conditions
The most important conditions associated with Whipple's disease include:
- HLA-B27 individuals:
- Defective T-cell immunity:
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, PAS-positive macrophages in the lamina propria containing non-acid-fast gram-positive bacilli are characteristic findings of Whipple's disease.[8]
The images show the characteristic feature of Whipple's disease; foamy macrophages are present in the lamina propria.
