| Whipple’s disease is a very rare disease. Therefore, some aspects of pathogenesis have remained unclear. [[Tropheryma whipplei]] is usually transmitted through oral route to human hosts. There is no known causative genetic factor for Whipple's disease. However, genetic and immunologic factors play important roles on clinical manifestation of T. whipplei infection.

| * It is believed that host immunologic response to the microorganism plays an important role on the clinical manifestation of the disease.<ref name="pmid8903578">{{cite journal |vauthors=Marth T, Strober W |title=Whipple's disease |journal=Semin.

| ==Genetics==
| |
| There is no known causative genetic factor for Whipple's disease. However, there is an association between Whipple's disease and some immunologic defects.
| |
| *HLA (HLA alleles DRB1*13 and DQB1*06) and Whipple’s disease.
| |
| *
| |
| | |
| ==Associated Conditions==
| |
| The most important conditions associated with Whipple's disease include:
| |
| * HLA-B27 individuals:
| |
| * Defective T-cell immunity: | |
| | |
| ==Gross Pathology==
| |
| *On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
| |
| | |
| ==Microscopic Pathology==
| |
| *On microscopic histopathological analysis, [[PAS stain|PAS]]-positive [[Macrophage|macrophages]] in the [[lamina propria]] containing non-acid-fast gram-positive [[bacilli]] are characteristic findings of Whipple's disease.<ref name="SchneiderMoos2008">{{cite journal|last1=Schneider|first1=Thomas|last2=Moos|first2=Verena|last3=Loddenkemper|first3=Christoph|last4=Marth|first4=Thomas|last5=Fenollar|first5=Florence|last6=Raoult|first6=Didier|title=Whipple's disease: new aspects of pathogenesis and treatment|journal=The Lancet Infectious Diseases|volume=8|issue=3|year=2008|pages=179–190|issn=14733099|doi=10.1016/S1473-3099(08)70042-2}}</ref>
