Mycoses refer to infectious diseases caused by fungi. Fungal infections are rare and mainly occur as opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Candida species are the most common cause of mycosis; however, members of the order Mucorales or genus may also cause serious fungal infections in immunocompromised hosts. Fungal infections of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can be asymptomatic or may present with abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or GI bleeding. Although rare, thorough understanding of fungal infections of the upper GI tract encountered in real-world clinical settings can enable early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment to improve patient prognosis.
真菌病是指由真菌引起的感染性疾病。真菌感染较为罕见，主要发生在免疫功能低下的患者中，作为机会性感染出现。念珠菌属是真菌病最常见的病因；然而，毛霉目成员或其他属也可能在免疫功能低下的宿主中引起严重的真菌感染。胃肠道真菌感染可能无症状，或表现为腹痛、腹胀、腹泻或胃肠道出血。虽然罕见，但深入了解实际临床环境中遇到的上消化道真菌感染，有助于早期诊断并及时开始治疗，以改善患者预后。
