Overview
Candidiasis is the most common cause of infectious esophagitis followed by HSV esophagitis.
Epidemiology and demographics
- Esophageal candidiasis has not been adequately studied in immunocompetent individuals.
- Candidiasis is the most common cause of infectious esophagitis followed by HSV esophagitis.[1]
Prevalence
- In a study conducted in 2015, the prevalence of esophageal candidiasis was 11.2% in HIV infected individuals and 2.9% in HIV infected individuals.[2]
- Esophageal candidiasis has been reported in 10-15% of immunocompromised patients during their lifetime.[3]
- Autopsies revealed isolation of candida in 43% of immunocompromised individuals.[4]
