Overview
Historical Perspective
- George Hoyt Whipple in 1907, described a case who died after a course of gastrointestinal, malabsorption, pulmonary, neurologic and constitutional symptoms. Pathology showed rod-like bacilli in the lamina propria and fat deposition in intestinal and mesenteric lymph nodes. He named this disease as “intestinal lipodystrophy.”[1]
- In 1947, Oliver-Pascual et al. reported a case of “intestinal lipodystrophy” before the death of a patient. [2]
- “Intestinal lipodystrophy” was renamed to “Whipple’s disease” in 1949, after the development of periodic acid-Schiff for staining the bacilli by Black-Schaffer.[3]
- Pauley in 1952 treated a patient successfully by using systemic antibiotics, prolonged period of Chloramphenicol.[4]
- In 1958, Bolt et al. reported the use of the small-bowel biopsy to differentiate malabsorption diseases and confirm the Whipple's disease.[5]
- In 1961, Chears and Ashworth used electron microscopic and cytochemical study to detect the bacilli inside the intestinal macrophages. [6] In that year, another team, Yardley and Hendrix demonstrated the rod-shaped structures in the intestinal mucosa by combined electron and light microscopy.[7]
- Wilson and his team in 1991, were able to partially sequence a 16S rRNA of a new bacterium. They classified this bacterium within the Actinomycetes clade.[8]
- In 1992, Relman et al. confirmed the previous result and extended the 16S rRNA sequence by using PCR. They used the term of “Tropheryma whippleii” for the first time for this bacterium. [9]
- In 2000, Raoult et al. reported successful isolation and cultivation of the bacterium responsible for the Whipple's disease. They obtained the tissue from the mitral valve of a patient with a culture negative endocarditis.[10]
- In 2001 La Scola et al. isolated Whipple’s disease bacillus from the cardiac valve of a patient with endocarditis and characterized it phenotypically. They slightly changed the name to “T. whipplei.” [11]
- In 2003, Bentley et al. and Raoult et al. analyzed and sequenced the genome of two different strains of T. whipplei. [12] [13]
