What Causes Esophagitis?
Esophagitis is caused by an infection or irritation in the esophagus. An infection can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or diseases that weaken the immune system. Infections that cause esophagitis include:

Candida. This is a yeast infection of the esophagus caused by the same fungus that causes vaginal yeast infections. The infection develops in the esophagus when the body's immune system is weak (such as in people with diabetes or HIV). It is usually very treatable with antifungal drugs.

Irritation causing esophagitis may be caused by any of the following:

GERD
Vomiting
Surgery
Medications such as aspirin and other anti-inflammatories
Taking a large pill with too little water or just before bedtime
Swallowing a toxic substance
Hernias
Radiation injury (after receiving radiation for cancer treatment)
What Are the Symptoms of Esophagitis?
