  • Title: [Pseudo-Whipple disease caused by atypical mycobacteriosis in AIDS: a clinical and electron microscopic study of 2 cases].
    Author: Dionisio D, Di Lollo S, Milo D, Gabbrielli M, Asirelli G, Giannelli E, Mecocci L, Tortoli E.
    Journal: Recenti Prog Med; 1990 Sep; 81(9):571-5. PubMed ID: 1702229.
    Abstract:
    The Authors focus on two cases, studied by electron and light microscopy, of Whipple-like disease caused by atypical mycobacteria in AIDS. Differential characteristics between the cases and classical Whipple's disease are analyzed with regard to the diagnostic and therapeutical peculiarities of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection which accounts for over 80% of atypical mycobacterial infections in AIDS. In this regard the Authors stress the role of histological findings of pale blue striated histiocytes as a marker of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection.
