The concomitant use of two distinct sampling methods can enhance the diagnostic yield of esophageal candidiasis during upper endoscopy. Furthermore, when initial staining is inconclusive, the use of additional stains can help establish the diagnosis.

Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Budesonide Oral Suspension for Eosinophilic Esophagitis: a 4-Year, Phase 3, Open-Label Study.
Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol
February 2025
Kenneth C. Griffin Esophageal Center, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background And Aims: We investigated the long-term safety and efficacy of budesonide oral suspension (BOS) in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
Methods: This study (SHP621-303) was a 4-year, phase 3, open-label study in patients with EoE who completed up to 52 weeks of BOS therapy in two preceding phase 3 studies. Based on treatment assignments in previous studies, patients were assigned to BOS-BOS or placebo-BOS groups.
Swallowed Topical Tacrolimus Induces Clinical and Histological Remission in a Subset of Patients with Severe Lymphocytic Esophagitis.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, CHUV University Hospital Lausanne and University of Lausanne UNIL, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Introduction: Lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) represents a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus with low response rates to topical steroids. Thus, novel treatment options such as swallowed topical tacrolimus, particularly for refractory cases, are urgently needed.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with LyE enrolled in the Swiss eosinophilic esophagitis database that received treatment with a swallowed tacrolimus syrup (1 mg bid).

Calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia (CREST) syndrome, a systemic sclerosis subtype, features skin thickening, vascular issues, and organ involvement, causing complications in the gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems. Herein, we present a rare case of oral candidiasis, with CREST syndrome. The patient presented with xerostomia, tongue erythema, and burning pain.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Importance: Patients with achalasia face a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer (EC), but the surveillance strategies for these patients remain controversial due to the long disease duration and the lack of identified risk factors.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of esophageal Candida infection among patients with achalasia and to assess the association of Candida infection with EC risk within this population.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients with achalasia diagnosed at or referred for treatment and monitoring to the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, between January 1, 1980, and May 31, 2024.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the histological characteristics of esophageal candidiasis and various clinical factors, highlighting instances where inflammation might not be present.
- A review of 53 biopsy specimens revealed that acute inflammation was absent in about 38% of cases, and smoking significantly correlated with this absence of inflammation.
- Findings suggest that smokers may experience a unique immunosuppressive effect in relation to esophagitis, as the inflammation was often missing in their biopsies compared to non-smokers.
