+==[[Esophageal candidiasis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-'''Esophageal candidiasis''' is an opportunistic infection of the [[esophagus]] by ''[[Candida albicans]]''.  The disease occurs in patients in immunocompromised states, including post-[[chemotherapy]] and in [[AIDS]].  It is also known as '''candidal esophagitis''' or '''monilial esophagitis'''

-[[Image:Candida.jpg|left|thumb|150px|[[H&E]] stain of esophagus showing [[Candida]] [[hyphae]] within the [[lamina propria]]]]
-Patients with esophageal candidiasis present with [[odynophagia]], or painful swallowing.  Longstanding esophageal candidiasis can result in [[weight loss]].  There is often concomittant [[thrush]].
-Some patients present with esophageal candidiasis as a first presentation of systemic [[candidiasis]]
+==[[Esophageal candidiasis causes|Causes]]==
-==Diagnostic testing==
+==[[Esophageal candidiasis differential diagnosis|Differentiating esophageal candidiasis from other Diseases]]==
-Patients where esophageal candidiasis is suspected should undergo [[esophagogastroduodenoscopy]] if it is safe to do so.  Endoscopy often reveals classic diffuse raised plaques that characteristically can be removed from the [[mucosa]] by the endsocope.  Brushing or [[biopsy]] of the plaques shows [[hyphae]] that are characteristic of ''Candida'' species.
-==Therapy==
+==[[Esophageal candidiasis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-A variety of medications may be used to treat esophageal candidiasis.  They include:
-*[[nystatin]]
-*oral [[triazoles]], such as [[fluconazole]]
-*[[caspofungin]], used in refractory or systemic cases
-*[[amphotericin]], used in refractory or systemic cases
