Whipple's disease: a continuous challenge.

Abstract
Whipple's disease is a rare disease with protean clinical manifestations, often mimicking those of other pathological conditions. We describe two new cases, one admitted to hospital only after Giardia lamblia infestation had drawn attention to gut symptoms, and the other who was treated for a long time with steroids for suspected Horton's arteritis. Once again, we stress the importance of bearing this polymorph disease in mind, especially in older people.
