Esophagitis Caused by Ciprofloxacin; A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

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.
