| Core Tip |
While esophageal candidiasis (EC) is often associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the prevalence and clinical risk factors for infection in the non-HIV population are less well established. Our study found the prevalence of EC among patients without HIV in the United States to be higher than anticipated, approximately 9%, over a 5-year period. Independent risk factors for infection were prior organ transplant, proton pump inhibitor, or corticosteroid use. The findings of this study may aide clinicians in establishing an early diagnosis and treatment of EC, thereby preventing the later complications of more severe disease. |
