Article Synopsis
- Whipple's disease (WD) is a rare but serious infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei, often misdiagnosed due to its symptom similarity with rheumatological diseases, leading to potential mismanagement.
- The study tracked 45 WD patients over 21 years and found that lower erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and platelet (PLT) counts at diagnosis were significant predictors for the development of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS).
- Despite identifying these clinical indicators, the prevalence of IRIS remained constant at 22.2% over the two-decade observation period.
