[Cough, vomiting, rapid weight loss].
1994
: A young male patient from Somalia presented with a productive cough since a few days, and he complained about vomiting after meals and a rapid loss of weight of 20 kg. Endoscopic, radiological and clinical examinations revealed a broncho-esophageal fistula. Further examinations showed mycobacterium tuberculosis as the underlying cause of the disease; a malignancy was excluded. Antituberculous treatment resulted in the loss of the present symptoms as well as in a clinical and endoscopic closure of the fistula.
