Infections of the esophagus are common in individuals with altered immune status. A review of the literature reveals that, in such patients, fungal organisms, particularly Candida and Aspergillus, can invade deeply into esophageal muscle. We report the development of a tracheoesophageal fistula following polymicrobial infectious esophagitis. This case, of a young woman with leukemia, emphasizes the need for early recognition and aggressive treatment of esophageal infections.
食管感染在免疫状态改变的个体中很常见。文献综述显示，在这类患者中，真菌，尤其是念珠菌和曲霉菌，可深入侵犯食管肌肉。我们报告了一例多微生物感染性食管炎后发生气管食管瘘的病例。该病例为一名患有白血病的年轻女性，强调了早期识别和积极治疗食管感染的必要性。
