Fungal enteritis

Fungal enteritis is one of the important types of fungal diseases in the body. The digestive tract is the main route of infection for fungi to invade the body, which poses a greater threat to health and life. In the past, this disease was very rare. In recent years, due to the widespread application of broad-spectrum antibiotics, hormones, immunosuppressive agents, antitumor drugs, and radiation therapy, the number of intestinal infections has also increased. The incidence of intestinal fungal infections is 1.6%. Pathogens include Candida and Aspergillus. The fungi that cause enteritis in China are mainly Candida, Actinomyces, Mucor, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, etc. Among them, Candida albicans enteritis is the most common.
