About this document

Fungus Ball Clogging in PEG Tube by Anderson Rodrigues is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses a rare case of complete clogging of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube due to a fungus ball in a 63-year-old man after chemoradiation therapy. The patient experienced difficulties in infusion through the PEG tube, which was later found to be obstructed by a hard mass of Candida, likely exacerbated by his immunosuppressive state. After the removal of the fungus ball, the infusion resumed without complications.
