PCR tests of cerebrospinal fluid for tuberculosis, brucellosis, and fungal infections all yielded negative results. Given the pachymeningitis pattern observed on brain MRI and the absence of infectious and lymphoma diseases, along with positive anti-PR3 and proteinuria (793 mg in a 24-h urine sample), a diagnosis of GPA was established.

Article Synopsis
- Whipple disease, caused by the bacterium Tropheryma whipplei, is a rare infection that primarily impacts the gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems but can also affect the heart, brain, and lungs, making diagnosis difficult due to varied symptoms.
- A case study of a young woman revealed miliary lesions in the pelvis during laparoscopy, initially leading to a diagnosis of granulomatous salpingitis and peritonitis, but ultimately, Tropheryma whipplei was identified as the cause.
- Timely and appropriate antibiotic treatment is crucial for a positive outcome in Whipple disease, emphasizing the need for increased awareness among healthcare professionals.
