According to the Los Angeles Classification of esophagitis, esophagitis may be classified based on severity and etiology into 4 grades and 4 types

According to the Los Angeles Classification of esophagitis, esophagitis may be classified based on severity into 4 grades.^[1]^[2]

Grade A	One or more mucosal breaks < 5 mm in maximal length
Grade B	One or more mucosal breaks > 5mm, but without continuity across mucosal folds
Grade C	Mucosal breaks continuous between > 2 mucosal folds, but involving less than 75% of the esophageal circumference
Grade D	Mucosal breaks involving more than 75% of esophageal circumference

Type of esophagitis	Etiology
Eosinophilic esophagitis	Milk Soy Eggs Wheat Peanuts Shellfish
Reflux esophagitis	Caffeinated drinks Spicy foods
Drug-induced esophagitis	Analgesics Antibiotics Potassium chloride Bisphosphonates
Infectious esophagitis	History of weakened immune system increases the risk of infections with Bacteria Viruses Fungi Parasites
