Reflux Esophagitis
Abstract
To the Editor.—
A question headed "Alkaline Reflux Gastritis After Peptic Ulcer Surgery" (234:204, 1975) was submitted by a Florida physician. The question has to do with reflux esophagitis, presumably caused by bile. The answer by Dr Herrington, unfortunately, discusses only the entity of alkaline reflux gastritis. While this discussion is erudite, it does not answer the Florida physician's question.
Esophagitis—and not gastritis—is the issue here....
