[Acute respiratory obstruction caused by laryngo-tracheal candidiasis in a HIV-positive patient].

The authors report a case presenting highly complex symptomatology. In fact, when the patient came under observation he had had a cough, dyspnea, dysphagia and dysphonia for approximately three months. The biopsy, taken by direct laryngoscopy, indicated the presence of candidiasis in the subglottic and tracheal areas. Laboratory tests indicated complete anergy and patient tested serum positive to HIV. During hospitalization acute dyspnea arose requiring emergency tracheostomy.
