A review of the literature and a survey of case records of The Johns Hopkins Hospital have failed to reveal an instance of monilial esophagitis occurring unrelated to one or more of the above conditions. In addition, it has not been possible to document an association of this entity with the established hemoglobinopathies.CASE REPORTA 22-year-old Negro female was admitted to The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the eighth time in...References1.
