“…Nonmalignant tracheo-esophageal fistula is caused by delayed presentation of congenital tracheoesophageal fistula [6] or presence of tracheoesophageal membrane which gets ruptured later on in life leading to tracheo-esophageal fistula [7] . It can be post traumatic due to foreign body ingestion, blunt or penetrating trauma, pressure changes during vomiting, endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy [8] [9] . Post-operative causes of TEF are pulmonary resection and aortic aneurysm repair.…”

Oesophageal tuberculosis is a rare disease. Tuberculosis (TB) can cause dysphagia due to oesophageal ulcers, Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistulas (TOFs) and an extrinsic compression which is caused by the mediastinal lymph nodes. A 33-year-old gentleman was admitted to our hospital for the evaluation of fever, dysphagia and cough. His chest X-ray was suggestive of miliary tuberculosis. A CT scan of his chest revealed miliary tuberculosis, mediastinal lymphadenopathy and pneumomediastinum. His sputum AFB (acid-fast bacilli) test was positive. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a large ulcer in the oesophagus with a fistulous opening which was suggestive of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula. A biopsy from the ulcer was positive for AFB. The test for HIV-1 was positive. A nasogastric feeding tube was placed and the Anti Tubercular Therapy ( ATT) was started. The main aim of this case report is to sensitize the clinicians about the fact that Tuberculosis can present with dysphagia, especially in HIV patients.
