A patient with Hodgkin disease developed painful swallowing due to a rare bacterial infection causing large esophageal ulcers during chemotherapy. This case highlights bacterial esophagitis as a potential cause of giant esophageal ulcerations.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Chemotherapy for Hodgkin disease can lead to various complications.
  • Esophageal complications during cancer treatment require careful diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old woman with Hodgkin disease presented with odynophagia (painful swallowing).
  • Endoscopy and radiography revealed large esophageal ulcers.
  • The ulcers were attributed to staphylococcal infection of the esophageal mucosa.

Findings:

  • The patient's odynophagia was caused by a staphylococcal infection.
  • The infection led to the formation of large esophageal ulcers.
  • This represents an unusual case of bacterial esophagitis.

Implications:

  • Bacterial esophagitis can manifest as giant esophageal ulcerations.
  • Clinicians should consider infectious causes of esophageal ulcers in immunocompromised patients.
  • This case expands the differential diagnosis for esophageal ulcerations in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
