Monilial esophagitis.
A case of monilial esophagitis, developing in a diabetic patient treated with gentamicin for Escherichia coli septicemia, is described. The esophagogram was normal and the diagnosis was confirmed by fiberoptic esophagoscopy and biopsy examination. The patient responded to oral nystatin. The literature on esophageal moniliasis is reviewed.
