  • Title: Tropheryma whippelii endocarditis confirmed by polymerase chain reaction.
    Author: Wendler D, Mendoza E, Schleiffer T, Zander M, Maier M.
    Journal: Eur Heart J; 1995 Mar; 16(3):424-5. PubMed ID: 7540550.
    Abstract:
    This report concerns a patient with cardiac manifestation of Whipple's disease. For the first time, the gene that encodes the 16s rRNA of Tropheryma whippelii was identified in a native aortic valve by means of a polymerase chain reaction technique. DNA amplification gives evidence of Tropheryma whippelii as a causative organism in infective endocarditis.
