Candida Esophagitis
Candida esophagitis is an inflammation of the esophagus caused by the excessive growth of the fungus Candida in its lining. It usually appears when the body's defenses are lowered or after certain treatments that alter the normal flora.
Common symptoms: pain or burning when swallowing, discomfort behind the breastbone, and, at times, whitish patches in the mouth.
Factors that promote it: a weakened immune system, poorly controlled diabetes, or the prolonged use of certain medications.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who usually evaluates the esophagus, with support from the infectious disease specialist when there are immune abnormalities; in children the pediatrician takes part. If you notice persistent pain when swallowing, the most prudent thing is to schedule a checkup to clarify its origin.
