Esophagus (Greek)
oisein = to carry
phagema = food
ESOPHAGITIS: CAUSES1. Reflux of gastric contents (acid and pepsin) and occasionally
duodenal contents (bile and pancreatic secretions)2. Allergy (eosinophilic esophagitis)3. Infections: viral (CMV, HSV), fungal (Candida), bacterial (rare)4. Trauma (intubation)5. Irritants (lye, alcohol, smoking, hot fluids, tetracycline)6. Radiotherapy (RT)7. Chemotherapy, especially if combined with RT (breast cancer)8. Graft-versus-host disease9. Systemic conditions associated with decreased lower esophageal
sphincter (LES): hypothyroidism, scleroderma, pregnancy10. Skin diseases: pemphigus, pemphigoid, epidermolysis bullosae

Eosinophilic esophagitis• First described in children with vomiting and reflux
symptoms• Later described in adults with dysphagia and food
impaction• Cause: hypersensitivity to airborne allergens or dietary
components• Syn: Allergic esophagitis• Treatment: corticosteroids• Diagnosis (clinicopathologic): biopsy with > 20
eosinophils per HPF, eosinophilic microabscesses; norelief after anti-reflux treatment
