Resumen
PALACIOS MARTINEZ, D. et al. Candida esophagitis in an immunocompetent woman: a case report. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.3, pp.551-556. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272013000300020.
Candida esophagitis (CE) is one of the invasive infections caused by Candida albicans (CA). Its prevalence diagnosed by upper endoscopy ranges between 0.77-2.4%. Its main cause is CA. CE more often affects immunocompromised people, however it may affect healthy people too. CE requires systemic antifungal therapy. We report a case of a CE in a healthy woman who presented good response to prescribed treatment. Omeprazole might be involved in the development of her CE.
