Overview
Esophageal candidiasis should be differentiated from other diseases causing dysphagia especially in immunocompromised patients.
Differentiating esophageal candidiasis from other diseases
Esophageal candidiasis should be differentiated from other diseases causing dysphagia especially in immunocompromised patients.

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