45 year old lady presented with difficult and painful swallowing. Endoscopy revealed a fungus infection - Candida, lining the foodpipe, causing her pain and difficulty. Cancer is not always the cause of swallowing difficulty.

I am guessing that this patient was possibly alcoholic ? ( I am guessing re the diabetes and the poor nutritional status, anf alcohol makes the esophagus vulnerable too).

Oh wow- I guess it is good to see this stuff now, when I can grimace at home in privacy and not in front of a client!

Where can I buy some? I'm a fungus collector.
