title: [Oesophageal ulcer associated with the use of bacampicillin].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Many drugs may provoke oesophageal disorders. In France, doxycyclin, potassium chloride non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are the most frequent agents incriminated.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 27 year-old man consulted for dysphagia and odynophagia due to oesophagitis following administration of bacampicillin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Several drugs can provoke oesophageal disorders including ulcerations. Predisposing circumstances exist. Ingestion of the drugs with a sufficient quantity of water (60 to 100 ml), whilst standing or sitting should be able to limit this type of event.
