Isolated CNS Whipple disease: acute onset and relapsing-remitting course.
Isolated CNS Whipple disease (WD) carries a poor prognosis, particularly if untreated. We describe 2 patients with isolated CNS WD who presented unusually with an acute onset followed by a relapsing-remitting course. Neither was diagnosed with WD until they had had several relapses.
