Abstract
Achalasia is a common adult disorder that rarely manifests in children and infrequently can be associated with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria infections. We describe here the first case of Mycobacterium goodii pulmonary infection associated with achalasia in a pediatric patient. Heller myotomy with Dor fundoplication and 12 months of treatment with ciprofloxacin and doxycycline resulted in complete clinical and radiologic improvement.Entities:
