Histological review of a liver biopsy from a patient with known Whipple's disease revealed a prominence of Kupffer cells containing PAS-positive granules. Electron microscopy revealed rod-shaped organisms in the Kupffer cells but the presence of these structures were not associated with overt liver injury. This is thought to be the first reported demonstration of these bacillary bodies in this location.
对一名已知患有惠普尔病患者的肝脏活检组织进行组织学检查发现，库普弗细胞显著增多，且含有PAS阳性颗粒。电子显微镜检查显示库普弗细胞内存在杆状生物体，但这些结构的存在与明显的肝损伤无关。据认为，这是首次报道在该部位发现这些杆菌体。
