Although neurological features are commonly encountered in Whipple"s disease (WD), presentation with purely neurological patterns is uncommon. Exclusive confinement to the central nervous system (CNS) is extremely rare. In these cases, the development of an isolated cerebral mass is exceptional. In
Although Whipple disease was described over a century ago, it remains challenging to recognize. To better understand the presentation of Whipple disease, we undertook a clinicopathologic study of our experience since implementation of the Whipple immunohistochemical stain. Twenty-three biopsy
Although neurological features are commonly encountered in Whipple's disease (WD), presentation with purely neurologic patterns is uncommon. Exclusive confinement to the central nervous system (CNS) is extremely rare. In these cases, the development of isolated cerebral mass is exceptional. In the
A prospective study of 100 consecutive admissions to a university neurology inpatient service was done to assess the prevalence and spectrum of autoimmune rheumatic disorders, most specifically Sjögren's syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and lupus anticoagulant (LA)-associated
