ABSTRACT
Candida was found in the oral cavity, jejunum, and ileum of the healthy population. In case of alimentary tract, the factors of favorable to candida colonization include old age, malnutrition, diabetes, burns, trauma, surgical operations, parenteral nutrition, intravascular or bladder catheterization, H2-blocker therapy, steroid therapy, immunosuppresive treatment and the use of wide spectrum antibiotics: however, gastrointestinal candida colonization is rarely found in the healthy adult. No case of duodenal ulcer with candidiasis has been reported in healthy people. Recently we experienced a case of asymptomatic duodenal ulcer with candidiasis in a healthy male, who had taken H2-blocker and proton pump inhibitor for 3 months after primary closure of duodenal ulcer perforation. Therefore we report this case with review of several literatures.
