| ==Overview== | | ==[[Esophagitis overview|Overview]]== |
| Esophagitis is defined as [[inflammation]] of the [[esophagus]]. The inflammation can be due to a variety of causes such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, viruses, or chemical injuries.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Pathophysiology== | | ==[[Esophagitis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]== |
| * The most common cause is [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] ([[GERD]]). If caused by [[GERD]], the diseases is also called '''[[reflux esophagitis]]'''.
| |
| * Other causes of [[esophagitis]] include infections (most commonly [[Candida (genus)|candida]], [[herpes simplex]] and [[cytomegalovirus]]). These infections are typically seen in [[immunocompromised]] people, such as those with [[HIV]].
| |
| * [[Food allergy|Food allergies]] have also been known to cause [[esophagitis]]
| |
| * Chemical injury by [[alkaline]] or [[acid]] solutions may also cause [[esophagitis]], and is usually seen in children or in adults who attempt [[suicide]].
| |
| * Physical injury resulting from [[radiation therapy]] or by [[nasogastric tube]]s may also be responsible.

| ==Diagnosis== | | ==[[Esophagitis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Esophagitis from Other Diseases]]== |
| === Symptoms ===
| |
| The symptoms of esophagitis include:
| |
| *[[Bad breath]] ([[halitosis]])
| |
| *[[Chest pain]], in the middle of the chest, often radiating to the back, usually associated with swallowing or soon after a meal
| |
| *[[Difficulty swallowing]] and/or [[painful swallowing]], especially if there is a feeling of food getting stuck on the way down
| |
| *[[Hoarseness]]
| |
| *[[Mouth sores]]
| |
| *[[Nausea]]
| |
| *[[Sore throat]]
| |
| *[[Vomiting]]
| |
|
| |
|
| Symptoms of underlying diseases that cause esophagitis include:
| | ==[[Esophagitis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]== |
| *[[Indigestion]]
| |
| *[[Heartburn]], [[acid reflux]], or [[unpleasant taste in the mouth]]
| |
| *[[Excessive belching]]
