Case description

The usual clinical presentation of Candida esophagitis is dysphagia and/or odynophagia in a patient with 1 or more predisposing factors for the condition. Symptoms are variable in severity, ranging from mild difficulty in swallowing to such intense odynophagia that the patient is unable to eat or swallow saliva. Other patients may present with chest pain or gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and occasionally, they may be asymptomatic.
