The main cause of the development of the disease is currently assumed to be a violation of acetazolamide of the immune system of various origins. The active stage of the disease is characterized by the localization of bacteria in microphages, which indicates their loss of the ability to lyse microorganisms. With the development of Whipple's Disease, there is a reduced production of antibodies to the pathogen in the body, or its complete absence. The lack of a cellular immune response becomes more pronounced.

Despite the fact that the causative agent of the disease has been identified, the causes of Whipple's disease are still unclear.

Scientists do not rule out a genetic predisposition. Significant contamination of sewage and soil by the pathogen does not lead to mass infection. To date, there has not been a single case of human-to-human transmission of Whipple's disease. Researchers believe that not all strains of the pathogen can develop Whipple's disease and its characteristic pathological changes.
