What is the diagnosis of fungal esophagitis?

Fungal esophagitis diagnosis methods include laboratory examination, imaging examination, other examinations, etc. 1, laboratory examination 1, blood routine examination patients for blood routine examination, can be found in the blood neutropenia, suggesting that there may be fungal infection. 2, serological test patients serological test, can be found in the serum antigen of pathogenic bacteria, antibody titer level increased. 2, imaging examination patients X-ray barium examination of the esophagus, esophageal mucosa can be seen coarse disorder, granular. Chronic lesions can cause esophageal segmental stenosis, need to be differentiated from esophageal cancer diagnosis. In late stages, the patient's esophageal mucosa appears nodular with pebble-like barium column appearance. Fungal esophagitis caused by Candida albicans infection cannot be ruled out if the esophageal X-ray barium examination is normal. 3. Other examinations 1. Esophagoscopy When esophageal endoscopy is performed, congestion, edema, erosion and ulcerative esophageal mucosa can be seen under esophagoscopy. When the mucosal surface is covered with white spots or pseudomembrane, fungal esophagitis can be diagnosed. 2. Fungal smear examination When fungal smear examination is performed on the diseased tissue, fungal hyphae can be found and infection can be /confirm/ied. 3. Tissue biopsy When tissue biopsy is performed on the diseased esophageal mucosa, if hyphae are found to invade the epithelium, the disease can be diagnosed.
