Overview

Common causes of esophagitis include gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, caustic burns, and chemical injury by either alkaline or acid solutions. Among immuncompromised patients, the most common causes of esophagitis are Candidiasis, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus

Causes

Common Causes

• Barrett's esophagus
• Candidiasis in immunocompromised patients
• Caustic burn
• Chemical injury by alkaline or acid solutions
• Cytomegalovirus in immunocompromised patients
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease
• Herpes simplex virus in immunocompromised patients
• Radiation therapy
