Opportunistic esophagitis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus

The authors report on a 59-year-old man with opportunistic esophagitis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. Although the patient had no underlying disease, esophagitis occurred after a short course of antibiotic therapy. A double contrast esophagogram showed multiple nodular or vertical plaque-like projections. Endoscopy provided pathological conformation of Aspergillus infection.
