How is mycotic esophagitis obtained?
VerifiedYour health, my dedication.
Fungal esophagitis is usually associated with Candida albicans infection, and long-term drug abuse, chronic diseases and low immune function can increase the risk of infection.
1. Long-term drug abuse
Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics or corticosteroids can inhibit normal flora and immune system, increasing the risk of Candida albicans infection.
2. Chronic diseases
Some chronic diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc. can lead to changes in the body environment, causing Candida albicans to overgrow and cause infection.
3. Low immune function
The weakened immune system can also increase the risk of Candida albicans infection, which is more common in patients with AIDS, leukemia and organ transplantation.
