Overview
Some patients with [Whipple's disease] may have abnormal hematological findings and elevated acute phase reactants , which is usually suggestive of the disease. Biopsy of affected tissue is important for making the diagnosis.
Laboratory Findings
- An elevated level of acute phase reactants is seen in [Whipples disease]. [1]
- Hematological findings include: [1]
- Laboratory evidence of malabsorption may be seen. [1]
