[Specific oesophagitis (author's transl)].
Tuberculous oesophagitis is a very rare finding; of all organs, involvement of the oesophagus is the least likely. Autopsies on tuberculous patients show an incidence of 0.14%. According to Wexels, only 125 cases have been described in the world literature up to 1954. In general, tuberculous oesophagitis can be included in the differential diagnosis of dysphagia only if this symptom is associated with tuberculosis of an organ, or miliary tuberculosis.
