A 14-day old infant with stomatitis due to Candida albicans presented with frequent emesis and was found to have esophagitis by barium esophagram. She responded promptly to oral Mycostatin suspension: her emesis subsided and the stomatitis resolved. Repeat esophagram on the seventh day of therapy showed complete res olution of the esophageal mucosal abnormalities. Although Candida stomatitis is common in infants, the incidence and appropriate therapy of Candida esophagitis as a complication in otherwise normal infants are unknown. This patient responded well to frequent therapy with an oral, nonabsorbable antifungal agent.
