Three months after initial presentation, crystalline deposits are evident at the level of the corneal endothelium (a)-(b). Several months later, numerous foamy macrophages were identified on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained aortic valve tissue (c) that stained robustly with periodic acid-Schiff diastase (d). The presence of organisms was confirmed by polyclonal anti-T. whipplei antibody (e). ((c)–(e)) courtesy of The Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA.
