In addition to Helicobacter pylori , the acute bacterial causes of infectious gastritis, include phlegmonous gastritis, gastric tuberculosis, and gastric syphilis. Bacterial gastritis often improves with appropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics, emphasizing the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment based on the clinical and endoscopic findings. Among viral gastritis, cytomegalovirus gastritis, primarily occurring in immunocompromised patients, necessitates antiviral intervention, while immunocompetent individuals typically achieve amelioration by administering proton pump inhibitors...

Owl monkeys are small nocturnal new world primates in the genus Aotus that are most used in biomedical research for malaria. Cardiomyopathy and nephropathy are well-described common diseases contributing to their morbidity and mortality; less is known about lesions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Records from a 14-year period (2008-2022) at the Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research were queried to identify instances of spontaneous gastrointestinal disease that directly contributed to the cause of death from the 235 adult owl monkeys submitted for necropsy...

Nutritional support is essential for critically ill patients to reduce mortality and length of stay. Frequently nasogastric (NG) tubes are used to provide enteral nutrition. A very rare risk of NG tube placement is esophageal perforation, most commonly in the thoracic portion of the esophagus. Here we describe a case of a 41-year-old male with multiple risk factors for esophageal integrity disruption who initially presented for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requiring intubation. Following intubation, an NG tube was placed for nutritional support...

To evaluate the positive pathological findings, patient satisfaction, pain, and complications of transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) in laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) patients at HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center (MSMC), Thailand. A descriptive cross-sectional study. Forty adult LPR patients who had failed 3-months proton-pump inhibitor therapy were recruited to undergo TNE at Otolaryngology department, MSMC from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Data including demographics, Reflux Finding Score, Reflux Symptom Index, Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) scores, and endoscopic findings were recorded and compared between patients who had positive pathological findings and those who had negative findings...

Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) develop in 2.4%-26.6% of patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer and are occasionally serious. However, there are few reports on the causative organisms of IAI following upper gastrointestinal tract surgery and subsequent risk factors for Candida infections. This study aimed to identify the microorganisms that cause IAIs after gastrectomy and risk factors for Candida-related IAI. The records of patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer between January 2009 and December 2019 at Shizuoka General Hospital were retrospectively collected...

The aim of this study was to clarify risk factors for esophageal candidiasis (EC) in immunocompetent patients in a community hospital. 7736 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at our hospital from April 2012 to July 2018 were enrolled. The relationships between EC and the following factors: age, gender, body mass index, lifestyle, lifestyle-related diseases, medication, and endoscopic findings were analyzed. EC was observed in 184 of 7736 cases (2.4% morbidity rate). Multivariate analysis revealed that significant risk factors for the development of EC were: diabetes mellitus {odds ratio (OR): 1...

Candidal infection of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is rare but has recently increased due to the increased number of immunocompromised patients, injudicious use of antibacterial agents, and prolonged use of antacid drugs in immunocompetent patients. The most frequent organ involved in GIT candidiasis is the esophagus, followed by the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The clinical spectrum of gastric candidiasis ranges from asymptomatic to gastric perforation and even shock. This case report presents a 58-year-old immunocompetent male patient diagnosed with Candida tropicalis- induced gastric perforation peritonitis...

AIM: Investigation of Candida colonization of the esophagus and gastric mucosa in patients taking proton pump inhibitors in comparison with those taking histamine-2 receptor antagonists. BACKGROUND: Candida species are normal flora of alimentary tract that can cause infection of the esophagus and gastro-intestinal tract in immunocompromised patients. Consumption of proton pump inhibitors and histamine-2 receptor antagonists has been shown to alter the gastric pH, which may predispose the esophagus and stomach to floral transmission and colonization...

Herpes simplex infection remains the third most common cause of esophagitis following gastric reflux disease and candida infection. This disease usually occurs in immunocompromised individuals; however, it has been frequently reported in healthy individuals. We present a case of a 39-year-old man who presented to the ER with symptoms unusual of herpes esophagitis. He was presumed to be immunocompromised due to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and chronic alcohol use. Endoscopy revealed features in favor of candidiasis; however, histopathology displayed characteristic features of herpes infection...

Background: Candida species are infrequently grown in bile cultures. An association between biliary candidiasis and regional malignancy may exist. The role of fungus membranes in frequent biliary stent occlusion is also presented in this case series. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who underwent percutaneous trans-hepatic cholangiogram (PTC) for obstructive jaundice between January 2014 and January 2019. The results of bile cultures - obtained by PTC - for all patients were analyzed, and patients with fungus growth were determined; their medical records were reviewed...

Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) migrate to the continental shelf of southern-southeastern Brazil during austral winter. Stranded penguins are directed to rehabilitation centers, where they occasionally develop fungal diseases. Aspergillosis, a mycosis caused by Aspergillus spp., is one of the most important diseases of captive penguins, while Candida sp. has been detected in penguins undergoing rehabilitation. Nevertheless, their occurrence in the wild is poorly understood. This study surveyed the occurrence of mycoses in free-ranging Magellanic penguins wintering in southeastern Brazil...

OBJECTIVE: Candida kefyr causes invasive candidiasis in immunocompromised patients, particularly among those with oncohematological diseases. This study determined the prevalence of C. kefyr among yeast isolates collected during 2011-2018 in Kuwait. Antifungal susceptibility testing (AST) and genotypic heterogeneity among C. kefyr was also studied. METHODS: Clinical C. kefyr isolates recovered from bloodstream and other specimens during 2011 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed...

Although Meyerozyma guilliermondii complex is an uncommon cause of invasive candidiasis worldwide, reported cases, mainly regarding bloodstream infections, increased over years, and patients with cancer who have undergone recent surgery are most commonly affected. However, the clinical characteristics and outcomes of candidemia caused by M. guilliermondii complex remain poorly understood. A retrospective case-control study was conducted to evaluate the clinical characteristics and mortality of candidemia caused by M...

Invasive candidiasis remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with underlying diseases. Here, we report a case of gastric perforation due to Candia glabrata infection in a 74-year-old-male with Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who received long-term corticosteroid treatment of hemophagocytic syndrome associated with acute cholecystitis. Total gastrectomy was performed, and he was treated liposomal amphotericin B. The patient was extubated successfully on the 2nd postoperative day, but the patient died of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP)...

Atrophic glossitis (AG) is characterized by the partial or complete absence of filiform papillae on the dorsal surface of the tongue. AG may reflect the significant deficiencies of some major nutrients including riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron, zinc, and vitamin E. Moreover, protein-calorie malnutrition, candidiasis, Helicobacter pylori colonization, xerostomia, and diabetes mellitus are also the etiologies of AG. Our previous study found the serum gastric parietal cell antibody (GPCA), thyroglobulin antibody (TGA), and thyroid microsomal antibody (TMA) positivities in 26...
