title: Simultaneous Esophageal and Gastric Ulceration Due to Doxycycline Ingestion: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
abstract: Doxycycline induced mucosal injury to the esophagus and, rarely, stomach is an under appreciated cause of odonyphagia and chest pain. The diagnosis is dependent on a comprehensive exposure history and endoscopic evaluation. Once recognized, doxycycline induced ulceration is easily treated with cessation of the medication and gastric acid suppression. Our case report describes a classic description of doxycyline induced esophageal ulceration with the unusual endoscopic finding of a simultaneous antral ulcer.
