Clinical and pathological effect of acid inhibitory drugs and prokinetic agents for mycotic esophagitis
Objective:To evaluate the curative effect of combination therapy of acid inhibitory drugs and prokinetic agents for mycotic esophagitis.Methods:60 patients with low-grade or moderate-grade mycotic esophagitis were randomly divided into two groups.The experimental group(30 cases)were treated with acid inhibitory drugs plus prokinetic agents;the control group(30 cases) were treated with antimycotic drugs.All of these patients were treated for 2 or 4 weeks.The clinical symptoms were observed at weeks 2 and 4 after treatment .The results were evaluated by gastric endoscopy
mycotic examination
and pathology.Results:The effective treatment results were observed and all clinical systoms in all these patients disappeared.The test for fungus was negative.In the experimental group
there were 21 cases of cure at week 2
8 cases of cure and 1 case of improvement at week 4.In the control group
there were 25 cases of cure at week 2
5 cases of cure at week 4.There was no significant different in clinical efficacy and pathological change between the experimental group and the control group.The side-effect in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions:Acid inhibitory drugs and prokinetic agents are effective and safe in treating mycotic esophagitis of low grade or moderate grade.
