Overview
Whipple’s disease may be classified into 4 groups based on clinical manifestation: Acute infection, asymptomatic carrier state, the classic Whipple’s disease, and localized chronic infection.
Classification
- Whipple's disease may be classified to 2 groups of acute and chronic based on the duration.
- Whipple's disease may be classified to 2 groups of systemic and localized infection based on organ involvement.
- Tropheryma whipplei infection may be classified to 4 groups based on the clinical manifestation:[1][2]
- Acute infections such as:
- Asymptomatic carrier state
- The classic Whipple’s disease
- Localized involvement of different organs including:
