    We report the first known case of both Noonan syndrome and Whipple’s disease occurring in the same patient. A 36-year-old female with history of Noonan syndrome developed fatigue, anorexia, arthritis of the knees and hands with a diffuse hyperpigmented rash, night sweats, and an unintentional fifteen pound weight loss over 4 mo.

She was treated with a 12 mo course of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole DS with clinical improvement to baseline status
