At our institution, where several hundred patients with AIDS are admitted yearly, the endoscopy service has been inundated with requests to verify the presence of esophageal candidiasis. In an effort to decrease the number of such requests, we prospectively evaluated ten patients with AIDS and oral candidiasis to determine whether the oral lesion may be sufficient to indicate esophageal involvement. We found that esophageal candidiasis could be documented...References1. MASUR H. Treatment of infections and immune defects, pp 101-3. In: FAUCI AS, moderator.
