Abstract:
Candidal infection of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is rare but has recently increased due to the increased number of immunocompromised patients, injudicious use of antibacterial agents, and prolonged use of antacid drugs in immunocompetent patients. The most frequent organ involved in GIT candidiasis is the esophagus, followed by the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The clinical spectrum of gastric candidiasis ranges from asymptomatic to gastric perforation and even shock. This case report presents a 58-year-old immunocompetent male patient diagnosed with Candida tropicalis-induced gastric perforation peritonitis.
