Abstract
Infectious esophagitis (IE) is commonly seen in immunocompromised patients. IE may be the first symptom of immunodeficiency state, also can be complication of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with hematological and oncological diseases. Severe complication of IE is esophageal stenosis. Patient management tactics continue to be discussed. A purpose of our publication is to demonstrate our experience in the management of patients with infectious esophageal stenosis. The etiology, features of the clinical and endoscopic picture, as well as the effectiveness of drug therapy and endoscopic methods of treatment have been analyzed. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI.
