Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Whipple’s disease is an infectious systemic illness. The symptoms (arthralgias, weight loss, diarrhoea and abdominal pain) are not specific, which causes diagnostic difficulties. Despite the illness being well known for over a hundred years there are only about 1000 cases described in the literature. We report a patient with Whipple’s disease with a review of recent diagnostic and therapeutic strategy.
