| description | Recurrent candida esophagitis are usually seen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. In HIV negative patients with some risk factors, candida esophagitis cases were also reported but its insidance is unknown. In small number of studies on this population, recurrent infection is not defined. Fluconazole resistant candida esophagitis is not reported in patients without HIV infection, either. In this case, a recurrent fluconazole resistant candida esophagitis in a patient, without HIV infection nor any specific immunodeficiency, is presented. As there was no response to fluconazole; both of the episodes described were treated with caspofungin. |
