The first reported case of Whipple's disease in a female who was HLA-B27 positive and had asymptomatic sacroiliitis is discussed. She presented great difficulty in diagnosis as she had multi-system involvement without diarrhea. This case supports the hypothesis that Whipple's disease is a disorder related to HLA-B27.
