摘要：

We report here the case of Whipple's disease in a 60-year-old man with severe arthralgia and systemic disorders but without gastrointestinal manifestations. The patient had different clinical diagnoses over a period of 14 years. We identified Tropheryma whipplei by real-time PCR. Molecular typing was also performed by sequencing the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region and domain III of the 23S rRNA gene.
