title: [Whipple's disease--a case study].
abstract: Whipple's disease is rare. The majority of patients are men. Before the advent of antibiotics the disease was almost invariably fatal. Now fewer deaths are recorded. We report about a typical case with the additional signs of sacro-iliitis, so that at first the false diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis was made.
