Tropheryma whipplei in fecal samples from children, Senegal.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Jun 2009

Fenollar Florence, Trape Jean-François, Bassene Hubert, Sokhna Cheikh, Raoult Didier

Abstract excerpt

We tested fecal samples from 150 healthy children 2-10 years of age who lived in rural Senegal and found the prevalence of Tropheryma whipplei was 44%. Unique genotypes were associated with this bacterium. Our findings suggest that T. whipplei is emerging as a highly prevalent pathogen in sub-Saharan Africa.
