Conclusion

Limbic encephalitis as a relapse of Whipple's disease with digestive involvement and spondylodiscitis

INTRODUCTION

Many clinical manifestations can be related to Tropheryma whipplei infection.

CASE REPORT

We report a Tropheryma whipplei limbic encephalitis developed as a relapse of classical Whipple's disease.

DISCUSSION

This case is to the best of our knowledge the first proof of the effective brain-blood barrier crossing of both doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine as demonstrated by direct concentration monitoring on brain biopsy.

Rift Valley fever in kidney transplant recipient returning from Mali with viral RNA detected in semen up to four months from symptom onset, France, autumn 2015

A 29-year-old kidney transplant recipient returning from Mali was diagnosed with Rift Valley fever (RVF) in France in autumn 2015. The patient was immunosuppressed due to his renal transplant.
