  • Title: [Stenosing esophagitis caused by Trichosporon beigelii: presentation of a rare case].
    Author: Bottari M, D'Amore F, Buda CA, Magnano A, Melita G, Dell'Utri P, Crescenti S, Casella G.
    Journal: G Chir; 1997; 18(6-7):344-7. PubMed ID: 9296595.
    Abstract:
    The Authors describe a rare case of esophageal stenosis complicated by gastroesophageal reflux due to Trichosporon beigelii in the absence of a pathologic predisposition or immunodeficiency. The diagnosis was drawn by embedding membrane fragments obtained endoscopically in Sabouraud and blood-Agar cultures. The patient was treated with antimicotics, immunostimulants, inhibitors of the gastric protonic pump, prokinetics and later underwent endoscopic dilatation combined with Savary-Guillard and pneumatic dilatators of growing diameter, until complete "restitutio ad integrum" of the esophageal lumen.
