Overview

Patients with Whipple's disease have various presentations. Most common symptoms of the classic Whipple's disease include joint pain, weight loss, diarrhea, and arthropathy. Other organ systems can be involved in Whipple's disease including central nervous system, cardiac system, renal system, skeletal, muscles and pulmonary system.

History and Symptoms

Whipple's disease is a systemic disease that involves multiple organs. Many of the patients present with gastrointestinal symptoms, while others presents with localized involvement of different organs.

Common Symptoms

Non specific symptoms

Gastrointestinal system

Articular system

Less Common Symptoms

Central nervous system

Ocular involvement

Ocular involvement is rare and can involve:[2]

Skeletal muscle involvement

Cardiac involvement

Pulmonary involvement

  • Pleuritic chest pain
  • Chronic cough
  • Dyspnea
  • Chest x-ray often shows pleural effusion , pulmonary infiltration, or granulomatous mediastinal adenopathy. Often abdominal lymph nodes may be involved.

Cutaneous finding

  • Melanoderma: less frequently reported these days as Whipple's disease is increasingly recognized early.[1]

Renal involvement

Renal involvement is late in course, may be seen rarely.[1]
