Abstract

Fistulas between the tracheobronchial tree and the esophagus (TE fistula) caused by tuberculosis are rare; usually they are associated with readily apparent pulmonary and/or mediastinal infection, and require surgical management. The patient we describe presented with a TE fistula as the only manifestation of active tuberculosis. This case represents the first report of successful nonsurgical treatment of tuberculous TE fistulas.

摘要

由结核病引起的气管支气管树与食管之间的瘘管（气管食管瘘）很罕见；通常它们与明显的肺部和/或纵隔感染相关，需要手术治疗。我们所描述的患者仅以气管食管瘘作为活动性结核病的唯一表现。该病例是结核性气管食管瘘非手术治疗成功的首例报告。
