Double acute esophageal candidiasis and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in a young healthy patient: a call to think about HIV infection in AIDS.

We present an otherwise healthy 27 year-old-man who was admitted to our hospital referring acute abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectorrhagia, heavy vomiting, heartburn, dysphagia, high fever and involuntary weight loss of 12 kg in one week. An acute kidney injury, anemia and lymphopenia of 85 CD4 were observed in his blood work. The patient underwent a colonoscopy that was unremarkable. However, the oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) showed an oesophageal candidiasis in the upper oesophagus along with multiple confluent circumferential ulcerations in its lower 10 cm. Multiple biopsies were taken from the center and the edge of the ulcerations, revealing the presence of inclusion cell bodies.
