ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for in vitro seriological diagnosis of Whipple's disease, whereby the bacteria responsible for the disease are isolated and established in a culture and brought into contact with the serum or biological fluid of an infected patient. The invention also relates to useful oligonucelotides with a probe and a primer for amplifying, sequencing and detecting the gene rpoB of the bacteria,Tropheryma whippelii.
