• In cases of culture-negative endocarditis, Whipple disease should be considered due to its atypical presentations.
• Assessment indicates that gastrointestinal symptoms may accompany endocarditis caused by Twhipplei.
• Raising awareness about Whipple disease could improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes in potential cases.
