 AB    This is a case report on a 42 years old patient suffering from Whipple's
       disease. The patient had characteristic symptoms: high temperature,
       frequent bowel movement, melanoderma, arthralgia and enlarged lymph
       nodes. After detailed clinical researches, x-ray and endoscopic
       examination, bacteriology examination of faeces, absorptional tests, the
       diagnosis was made thanks to pathohistologic analysis of biopsy samples
       of the small intestine by light and electron microscopy. The
       differential diagnostic similarity with AIDS, especially at the early
       phase of the illness, required excluding HTLV III. We examined the
       aetiophathogenesis of the illness and discussed the clinical and
       laboratory presentation of the patient considering contemporary ideas
       regarding this disease.
