Doença de Wipple - a propósito de um caso
Palavras-chave:
Whipple, Tropheryma whippelii, PCR, imunofluorescência, défice imunitário, reacção de Jarisch-HerxheimerResumo
Descreve-se um caso de doença de Whipple em que ocorreu uma reacção de Jarisch-Herxheimer. Obteve-se o diagnóstico pelo método clássico: a histologia. Discute-se, este caso à luz dos novos conhecimentos acerca da patogénese, diagnóstico,
tratamento e “follow-up” desta doença rara mas possivelmente fatal (se não tratada),
nomeadamente o défice imunitário e os novos métodos de diagnóstico como a técnica
de “polimerase chain reaction” (PCR) e o teste serológico (imunofluorescência).
