Whipple's Disease Treatment
Patients should receive prolonged antibiotic therapy with a drug that can treat infections of the brain and central nervous system. If symptoms reappear during therapy, patients may require a change in their antibiotic regimen.
Relapses can occur after therapy has been completed, requiring close patient monitoring.
Patients who experience nutritional deficiencies caused by the malabsorption will receive treatment with appropriate dietary supplements.
