[Purulent pleurisy, esophagopleural fistula and presence of Torulopsis glabrata in the pleura].
The authors report the simultaneous discovery of a septic pleural effusion and an esophagopleural fistula in a 4 year-old patient. The yeast Torulopsis glabrata found in the pleural effusion does not seem to behave as a pathogen but more likely as a witness of a fistula between the gastrointestinal tract and the pleura.
