Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy–candidiasis–ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) and esophageal rupture by candida infection: A case report and review - 17/08/22
Abstract |
We probably describe the first report of esophageal rupture in a patient with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy - candidiasis - ectodermal dystrophy (APECED, OMIM # 240300), who had candida esophagitis as the main feature for decades. Strong evidence shows that this rupture may have been caused directly and indirectly by chronic candidiasis. In this way, we demonstrate how severe and harmful the persistent esophageal candidiasis can cause in the esophagus, especially in immunodeficient patients.
