Infection of the small bowel with Candida species has previously been noted to occur in as many as 20% of autopsy cases with histologically demonstrated gastrointestinal candidiasis. Antemortem diagnosis, however, has been difficult and not previously reported. A renal transplant recipient presented with esophageal, duodenal, and jejunal candidiasis, and the correct antemortem diagnosis of small bowel involvement was suggested by radiologic and endoscopic findings. Antifungal therapy resulted in complete resolution of these findings.
先前已注意到，在组织学证实有胃肠道念珠菌病的尸检病例中，多达20%会发生小肠念珠菌感染。然而，生前诊断一直很困难，且此前未见报道。一名肾移植受者出现食管、十二指肠和空肠念珠菌病，放射学和内镜检查结果提示了对小肠受累的正确生前诊断。抗真菌治疗使这些症状完全消失。
