Summary: We describe a case of Whipple’s disease in which a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction occurred. Diagnosis was made in the standard way: histology. We then discuss this case with update information on pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of this rare but possibly fatal illness if left untreated, namely the immune defect and the new diagnostic methods such as the PCR technique and the immunofluorescenceserologic test.

Obteve-se o diagnóstico pelo método clássico: a histologia. Discute-se, este caso à luz dos novos conhecimentos acerca da patogénese, diagnóstico,tratamento e “follow-up” desta doença rara mas possivelmente fatal (se não tratada), nomeadamente o défice imunitário e os novos métodos de diagnóstico como a técnica de “polimerase chain reaction” (PCR) e o teste serológico (imunofluorescência).Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna2002-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1877Internal Medicine; Vol. 9 No. 4 (2002): Outubro/ DezembroMedicina Interna; Vol. 9 N.º 4 (2002): Outubro/ Dezembro2183-99800872-671Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1877https://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/1877/1319Santos, EugéniaMalheiro, FilipaVilas, Ana PaulaSequeira, JoãoMadruga, IsabelAbecasis, Pedroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-27T06:11:00Zoai:oai.revista.spmi.pt:article/1877Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:59:24.550647Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
