ingestion of ciprofloxacin can be associated with esophagitis and esophageal ulcer. we report a 46-yearold man with odynophagia and dysphagia following ciprofloxacin ingestion, with a glance on diagnosis and treatment. also, we propose recommendations for prevention of drug-induced esophagitis, according to shape, size, formulation and their etiologic role on esophagitis.

The aim of this study was to investigate histomorphological and immunophenotypic features in pill-induced esophagitis. We comparatively evaluated the histomorphological, immunophenotypic features of pill-induced esophagitis vs. reflux esophagitis, as well as clinical information and endoscopic findings. Fifty-two tissue pieces from 22 cases of pill-induced esophagitis, 46 pieces from 20 reflux ...

OBJECTIVE To summarize the research progress about the dosimetry and biological predictors of radiation-induced esophagitis. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review addressing radiation esophagitis in the treatment of lung cancer published between January 2009 and May 2015 in the PubMed full-text database index systems. RESULTS Twenty-eight eligible documents were included in th...

It was evaluated the inhibitory action of quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside (QGC) on reflux esophagitis and gastritis in rats. QGC was isolated from the herba of Rumex Aquaticus. Reflux esophagitis or gastritis was induced surgically or by administering indomethacin, respectively. Oral QGC decreased ulcer index, injury area, gastric volume, and acid output and increased gastric pH as com...

Ingestion of alendronate sodium (Fosamax) had been reported to sometimes cause erosive or ulcerative esophagitis. Despite its widespread use and several case reports describing the clinical and endoscopic presentation, there has been limited discussion on the histologic appearances of the esophagitis caused by the medication. Here we describe one case of an elderly woman who presented with alen...

oral glutamine supplementation is highly effective in preventing and delaying radiation-induced esophagitis, one of the most common discomforting side effects of radiation to the thoracic area among lung cancer patients. according to the literature, lung cancer is the leading cause of death among all cancers with the highest incidence worldwide. this paper aims to emphasize the importance of or...

Background: Corrosive esophageal burns have high morbidity and mortality. The effective treatment is controversial. In our study, we aimed to examine the effects of resveratrol (RSV) platelet rich plasma (PRP) on healing in corrosive esophagitis model rats. 
 Material methods: A total 24 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups each as esophagitis, control, PRP RSV groups. No was administe...
