Overview
Common risk factors in the development of Whipple's disease may be environmental, genetic, and immunologic. The most important risk factor in the development of Whipple's disease is poor sanitation including living in homeless shelters and absence of toilets.
Risk Factors
- Risk factors in the development of Whipple's disease may be environmental, genetic, and immunologic.[1]
- The most potent risk factor in the development of Whipple's disease is poor sanitation including living in homeless shelters and absence of toilets.[2]
Common risk factors
- Common risk factors in the development of Whipple's disease include:[1][2][3]
- Poor sanitation
- Living in homeless shelters
- Absence of toilets
- Sewage influxed plants
- Close contact with patients or chronic carriers
Less common risk factors
- Genetic predisposition including HLA DRB1*13 and DQB1*06 positive
- HIV infection
- Immunosuppressed patients
