Abstract

This case report describes a patient with persistent vomiting, ultimately diagnosed with esophageal candidiasis. The patient, a diabetic female who recently underwent nephrectomy, presented with recurrent vomiting, fever, and diarrhea. Initial management included antiemetics and intravenous fluids, with subsequent investigations revealing elevated inflammatory markers. Persistent symptoms led to gastroenterology consultation and esophagogastroduodenoscopy, confirming esophageal candidiasis. The patient responded well to antifungal therapy and was discharged in stable condition.
