Сообщение посвящено описанию клинического случая болезни Уиппла у пациента 61 года. Дебют заболевания проявился по типу полиартрита за 3 года до установления диагноза. Дальнейшее течение заболевания происходило в период пандемии новой коронавирусной инфекции COVID 19, что затруднило диагностический поиск. Клинические проявления в виде лихорадки, суставного синдрома, диареи,  лимфаденопатии, анемии и снижения массы тела позволили заподозрить болезнь Уиппла.  Ключевым моментом для постановки диагноза явились эндоскопические исследования с множественной биопсией тонкой кишки, что и позволило гистологически установить PAS-положительные макрофаги в слизистой оболочке тонкой кишки. Терапия цефтриаксоном на протяжении 14 дней, терапия триметоприм-сульфаметоксазолом (160 мг/800г 2 р в день) на протяжении 14 мес привели к положительной клинической динамике, улучшению  лабораторных показателей, полному исчезновению PAS-положительных макрофагов в слизистой оболочке тонкой кишки, что свидетельствует о ремиссии заболевания.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim: to present a clinical observation of a patient with Whipple's disease, demonstrating the difficulties in diagnosing the disease.</p></sec><sec><title>Key points</title><p>Key points. A clinical observation of Whipple's disease in a 61-year-old man is described. The onset of the disease was manifested as polyarthritis three years before diagnosis. The further course of the disease occurred during the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19, which made the diagnostic search difficult. Clinical manifestations of fever, arthralgias, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy, anaemia and weight loss raised suspicion of Whipple's disease. Key to the diagnosis were endoscopic studies with multiple small bowel biopsies, which allowed histological identification of PAS-positive macrophages in the small bowel mucosa. Therapy with ceftriaxone for 14 days, therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (160 mg/800 mg twice a day) for 14 months resulted in positive clinical dynamics, improvement of laboratory parameters, disappearance of PAS-positive macrophages in the small intestinal mucosa, indicating remission of the disease.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Болезнь Уиппла</kwd><kwd>PAS-положительные макрофаги</kwd><kwd>лимфаденопатия</kwd><kwd>суставной синдром</kwd><kwd>диарея</kwd><kwd>анемия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Whipple's disease</kwd><kwd>PAS-positive macrophages</kwd><kwd>lymphadenopathy</kwd><kwd>joint syndrome</kwd><kwd>diarrhea</kwd><kwd>anaemia</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Whipple G.H.
