Overview
Esophageal candidiasis should be differentiated from other diseases causing dysphagia especially in immunocompromised patients (e.g. herpes simplex esophagitis, CMV esophagitis)
Differentiating esophageal candidiasis from other diseases
Esophageal candidiasis should be differentiated from other diseases causing dysphagia especially in immunocompromised patients.
| Prominent clinical features | Endoscopy findings | ||

Candida esophagitis should also be differentiated from other less common causes of dysphagia as
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Barrett's esophagus
- Esophageal achalasia
- Pill esophagitis
- Eosinophilic esophagitis
