ABSTRACT
Esophageal tuberculosis is one of the rarest forms of tuberculosis with higher incidence in immunocompromised cases. In majority of cases it is seen associated with esophagomediastinal and esophagotracheal fistulas. Diagnosis is established with the help of esophagoscopy followed by histopathology and microbiological analysis of biopsy sample. Treatment with antituberculous therapy alone is sufficient in majority of cases, however surgical management is mandatory in severe and non resolving cases. We thereby report an interesting case of esophagomediastinal fistula presenting as drug resistant tuberculosis with retroviral disease.
