| Popis: | Whipple disease (WD) is a rare bacterial infectious disease that is classically characterized by years of arthralgia, followed by malabsorption, diarrhea, and weight loss. However, WD may manifest in virtually any organ system, and patients with WD rarely develop subcutaneous erythema nodosum-like lesions. We report a case of a 51-year-old man diagnosed with WD who subsequently developed widely distributed erythematous subcutaneous nodules after 5 months of antibiotic therapy. |
