Should fungal esophagitis be treated?

First, regular antifungal treatment can often achieve good results, but for the treatment of primary infection and secondary fungal infection with antibiotics, it is difficult to deal with clinically, and the treatment effect is often poor. Therefore, antibiotics and steroids should be used reasonably.

Second, the surgical treatment of severe esophageal stricture caused by fungal infection should be considered carefully.

Third: the iatrogenic infection of esophageal fungi is not rare in clinic. Broad spectrum antibiotics, H2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors can destroy the biological balance of normal flora in human body, leading to excessive proliferation of fungi and epithelial infection. Corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs can cause low immune function and lead to fungal infection of esophagus and viscera.
