The authors describe a case of Whipple's disease diagnosed early during gastroduodenofibroscopy from a bioptioc specimen of the prepyloric gastric mucosa, and treated in time. The disease was complicated by superinfection with Salmonella enteritidis. In the clinical picture digestive symptoms predominated, loose stools, malabsorption, loss of body weight, anaemia, skin pigmentation. After antibiotic and later chemotherapeutic treatment clinical symptoms receded and the histological finding in bioptic specimens from the stomach was normal.
