| description | Esophageal injury after ingestion of various drugs often goes
unrecognized. Two cases of tetracycline induced esophagitis are reported. The
main presenting symptoms were odynophagia and dysphagia for both solids and
liquids following the first two or three doses. Esophageal endoscopy revealed the
presence of acute esophageal ulcers in both cases. Symptomatic relief was
achieved by discontinuation of the drug and the use of viscous lidocaine and
antacids. Recovery was complete within a few days. Recognition of this entity
will help in its diagnosis and treatment, and should prevent further complications. |
