Zusammenfassung
Infektionserkrankungen des Ösophagus treten in der Regel nur bei Patienten mit gestörter Immunabwehr, beispielsweise chronischer Alkoholismus, AIDS (▸ Kap. 11), nach Organtransplantationen, aber auch bei Diabetes und in hohem Alter auf. Als häufigste Pilzinfektion gilt die Candidiasis. Bei ausgeprägter Immundefizienz treten auch bakterielle, parasitäre und virale Infektionen auf (Nassar u. Gregg 1998). Angaben zur Prävalenz aller infektiösen Ösophagitiden fehlen bis dato und sind nur für Candidainfektionen bekannt (<5% bei Gesunden, 25–50% bei Immunsupprimierten, Tumorkranken und Patienten im Stadium AIDS).
