Deskripsi

Background Medications can rarely cause esophageal injury and present with acute symptoms. Multiple factors, including the type of medication, comorbidity, and method of ingestion play a role in causing drug-induced or pill esophagitis (PE). We analyzed the clinical, endoscopic, and histopathological profiles of PE cases at our gastroenterology outpatient clinic.
