ABSTRACT
Tropheryma whipplei (TW) is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause Whipple′s disease (WD). Recently, the biomedical field is concerned about whether the bacteria cause pneumonia. When BALF was detected by PCR, the TW positive rate was about 6.1%. Etiology status is generally described as “associated” or “probable”. Immunocompromised status is the susceptible factor; Different species of the same genus have been reported. The current method may have missed detection. All relevant information needs further study. This article reviews the acute pneumonia caused by TW and the detection technology.
