RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Chronic mesenteric ischaemia masked by candida esophagitis in a renal transplant patient JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e232938 DO 10.1136/bcr-2019-232938 VO 12 IS 12 A1 Seth Scheetz A1 Deepali Pandey A1 Todd E Pesavento A1 Priyamvada Singh YR 2019 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/12/e232938.abstract AB Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a severe disease that is often missed due to its non-specific presentation. Immunosuppressed patients are at risk for infectious gastrointestinal disease, which may further obscure the diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischaemia. In this case, a patient’s symptoms and diagnostic workup were consistent with candida esophagitis. Worsening leukocytosis despite treatment, however, prompted re-evaluation ultimately revealing a superior mesenteric artery thrombus causing mesenteric ischaemia. The patient required urgent surgical intervention for the management of his disease.
