Tropheryma whippelii endocarditis confirmed by polymerase chain reaction
1995
This report concerns a patient with cardiac manifestation of Whipple's disease. For the first time, the gene that encodes the 16s rRNA of Tropheryma whippelii was identified in a native aortic valve by means of a polymerase chain reaction technique. DNA amplification gives evidence of Tropheryma whippelii as a causative organism in infective endocarditis.
