Candidiasis complicating sclerotherapy-induced esophageal ulcer presenting as recurrent hematemesis. 1989

M K Goenka, and B R Thapa, and S C Jethi, and S Mehta

A ten year old child with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction had recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding after endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy-induced esophageal ulcer complicated by candidiasis was found to be the source of bleeding. This as yet unrecognised complication of sclerotherapy requires prompt diagnosis and early antifungal therapy.
