Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of 68-years old patient with a Whipple’s disease. The diagnosis was made after 10 years of following-up in presence of gastroenterological symptoms. On examination flattened rounded villi with the content of PAS-positive (PAS — periodic acid Schiff) foamy macrophages, highly specific for Whipple’s disease, have been described in the biopsy specimen of the distal duodenum. The therapy led to a distinct positive dynamics persisting for 1 year.
