Overview
Tropheryma whipplei causes Whipple's disease. It is a gram-positive bacillus that is transmitted orally. It is a systemic disease that infects primarily intestines and every other organ.
Causes
- Whipple's disease is caused by an infection with Tropheryma whipplei.[1]
- Tropheryma whipplei is a periodic acid-Schiff stain positive, gram-positive bacillus of Actinomycetes family.[2]
- It is transmitted through oro-oral and feco-oral routes.[3]
