摘要
the optimal treatment for classic whipple disease has not yet been determined. a recent study reported encouraging results for initial treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone or meropenem followed by long-term treatment with oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. however, discrepancies in the failure and/or relapse rates associated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole show that this regimen may not be optimal.
