Possible Risk Factors for Candida Esophagitis in Immunocompetent Individuals

Abstract

Background: Candida esophagitis (CE) is a condition typically diagnosed in patients who are immunocompromised. Risk factors leading to the development of CE in immunocompetent patients have not been entirely elucidated. This study set out to identify risk factors associated with the development of CE in immunocompetent patients.
