Abstract
Tropheryma whipplei (T. whipplei) is extensively known as the etiological bacterium of Whipple's disease (WD). Here, we reported a case of community-acquired pneumonia caused by T. whipplei in a young pregnant woman without predisposing medical conditions. This case indicated that T. whipplei might be also transmitted via respiratory droplet.
