Out of 8 patients with Whipple's disease, 7 had roentgenographic findings consisting of slight dilatation of the small bowel, with thickening of the mucosal folds. The eighth patient had no abnormality on roentgenographic study. This series represents the first in which the roentgenographic changes have been quantitatively assessed. Confirmation of the diagnosis by biopsy is important because antibiotic treatment results in marked improvement both clinically and roentgenographically.
在8例惠普尔病患者中,7例有X线表现,包括小肠轻度扩张和黏膜皱襞增厚。第8例患者X线检查无异常。该系列是首次对X线改变进行定量评估的研究。通过活检确诊很重要,因为抗生素治疗在临床和X线方面均会带来显著改善。
