Esophagitis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Risk Factor & Prevention
What is Esophagitis
Esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus, causing issues like trouble swallowing, chest discomfort, and acid reflux. It can range from mild irritation to severe inflammation, and may be either acute or chronic.
Symptoms of Esophagitis
Causes of Esophagitis
Reflux Esophagitis
Caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid frequently backs up into the esophagus, leading to irritation.
Infectious Esophagitis
Caused by infections due to bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. It is more common in people with weakened immune systems.
Drug-induced Esophagitis
Caused by taking medications that can irritate the esophagus if they dissolve there. Common medications include certain antibiotics, pain relievers, and bisphosphonates.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
Caused by an allergic reaction or immune response, often to certain foods or environmental allergens. EoE involves a high concentration of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the esophagus.

Diagnosis of Esophagitis

A flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Biopsies can be taken during this procedure.
Barium Swallow (Esophagram):
X-ray imaging of the esophagus after swallowing a barium solution, which highlights abnormalities.
Biopsy
Tissue samples taken during endoscopy to examine under a microscope for inflammation, eosinophils, infection, or other abnormalities.
pH Monitoring
Measures acid levels in the esophagus over 24 hours to detect acid reflux
Allergy Testing
Used for eosinophilic esophagitis to identify specific food or environmental allergens.
