Abstract EN
A 42-year-old male presented with worsening gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and cough.
The clinical symptoms during the early course of illness were striking for aspiration pneumonia.
He was given a prescription of proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics.
Rapid decline in the clinical condition with worsening respiratory status was noted.
Worsening symptoms of fever, cough, and chest pain prompted further diagnostic work-up suggesting esophageal microperforation.
Esophagogram was found to be suggestive of tracheoesophageal fistula.
The tracheoesophageal fistula was due to subcarinal lymph node of nontuberculous origin.
