Unusual Etiology of Esophageal Perforation

H. OPPENHEIM M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Veterans Administration Hospital, Outwood, Kentucky.

It is believed that the increased use of the antibiotics will continue to lower the frequency of nontuberculous empyemata together with the incidence of esophageal perforations from this source.
