Prevalence estimation of Tropheryma whipplei in duodenal biopsy tissues of Koreans.
Whipple's disease caused by Tropheryma whipplei is difficult to diagnose because of a broad spectrum of manifestations and non-specific clinical signs. In the current global era, the incidence of duodenal infection/inflammation caused by T. whipplei in Korea may has been underestimated. Here we estimated the prevalence of T. whipplei in duodenal biopsy tissues of Koreans using real-time PCRs (RT-PCRs). A total of 252 duodenal biopsy tissues were collected from Korean patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and duodenal biopsy. DNA extracted from the duodenal biopsy tissues was analyzed using three RT-PCRs targeting T. whipplei-specific regions of the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer, hsp65, and Dig15 in parallel. In the samples positive in RT-PCRs, direct sequencing was performed for each RT-PCR target. The prevalence of T. whipplei was estimated based on the RT-PCR and sequencing results. Among the analyzed samples, T. whipplei was not detected. The prevalence of T. whipplei in duodenal biopsy tissues of Koreans was estimated to be less than 0.4%. This is the first study to attempt to detect T. whipplei in duodenal biopsy tissues of Koreans and estimate its prevalence. Our findings infer that while T. whipplei carriers exist in Korea, the incidence of duodenal infection/inflammation caused by T. whipplei is extremely rare.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials considers good quality, novel and international research of more than regional relevance. Research must include epidemiological and/or clinical information about isolates, and the journal covers the clinical microbiology of bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as antimicrobial treatment of infectious diseases.
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials is an open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on information concerning clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and antimicrobials. The management of infectious disease is dependent on correct diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment, and with this in mind, the journal aims to improve the communication between laboratory and clinical science in the field of clinical microbiology and antimicrobial treatment. Furthermore, the journal has no restrictions on space or access; this ensures that the journal can reach the widest possible audience.
