Whipple's disease is a rare infectious disease that typically infects the bowel.
| | Symptoms of Whipple's disease include darkened skin; painful, inflamed joints; diarrhea; light-colored, soft, bulky, and foul smelling stool (called steatorrhea); arthritis; abdominal pain; cough; and enlarged lymph nodes in the chest. |
| | Chest pain can occur if fluid collects in the lungs and the membranes covering the lungs, the pleura, become inflamed. |
| | People with Whipple's disease develop heart murmurs if the infection reaches the heart, and liver enlargement if the infection reaches the liver. |
