Whipple disease
Whipple disease is a treatable, multisystem disease caused by infection with Tropheryma whipplei. Whipple disease of the central nervous system may be primary (ie, without evidence of disease outside of the brain) or secondary, occurring in the context of a multisystem condition. Cognitive changes, supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, and altered levels of consciousness are the most common neurologic features.
