ABSTRACT
An acquired tracheooesophageal fistula in a 25 - year old male Yemeni patient was shown to be a complication of a disseminated fungal infection. He did not have any evidence of immunodeficiency. The patient was treated with amphotericin B combined with surgical closure of the fistula, with a favourable outcome. Clinicians are reminded that among the causes of acquired tracheooesophageal fistulae they must consider fungal infections which can be rewardingly treated
