Abstract

Tropical sprue is a rare disease in travelers. Its etiology remains unclear. We report two cases of tropical sprue occurring in long-term residents in Nepal and Cameroon. In one case, Tropheryma whippelii, the agent of Whipple's disease, was identified. Many infectious agents have been suggested to be the etiological agent of tropical sprue, but no association with Whipple's disease has yet been reported.

摘要

热带口炎性腹泻在旅行者中是一种罕见疾病。其病因尚不清楚。我们报告了两例发生在尼泊尔和喀麦隆长期居民中的热带口炎性腹泻病例。其中一例鉴定出了惠普尔病的病原体——惠普尔放线杆菌。许多感染因子被认为是热带口炎性腹泻的病原体，但尚未有与惠普尔病相关的报道。
