Abstract

We describe a patient with rapidly progressive Whipple's disease confined to the central nervous system (CNS). The diagnosis was made pre-mortem following stereotactic and open brain biopsis and confirmed at autopsy. Despite appropriate antibiotic treatment, the disease ran a fulminant course to death after nine weeks.
