Abstract

Abstract:

The incidence of esophageal tuberculosis is relatively low, which has been rarely reported. Clinical symptoms, auxiliary examination and differential diagnosis of esophageal tuberculosis have been poorly understood. It is highly likely to be misdiagnosed as esophageal carcinoma. In this paper, the author report one patient with chest pain after renal transplantation, who was confirmed to have esophageal tuberculosis by gastroscopy and molecular diagnosis technology (polymerase chain reaction-reverse dot line hybridization assay), and was cured by antituberculotic drugs. This case prompts that strengthen the understanding of the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of esophageal tuberculosis can improve the level of diagnosis, and plays a pivotal role in reducing misdiagnosis and improving clinical prognosis of patients.
