We examined fecal specimens of patients with diarrhea from 3 continents for Tropheryma whipplei and enteropathogens. T. whipplei was most common in South Africa, followed by Singapore and Germany. Its presence was associated with the presence of other pathogens. An independent causative role in diarrhea appears unlikely.
我们检测了来自三大洲腹泻患者的粪便标本,以寻找惠特莫尔氏游动放线菌和肠道病原体。在南非、新加坡和德国,惠特莫尔氏游动放线菌最为常见。它的存在与其他病原体的存在有关。它在腹泻中独立的致病作用似乎不太可能。
