“…Slight acute lesions must often be dismissed as post-mortem change. After systematic investigation Butt and Vinson (1936b) gave 7.02% (over 90% acute and subacute) for oesophagitis in consecutive necropsies; Lodge (1955b) found micro-270 PATHOLOGY OF DIGESTION OESOPHAGlTIS scopic evidence of acute oesophagitis in 31 % of 500 unselected hospital patients and in 3% of 100 " sudden death" cases. The morbid anatomy has been detailed by, among others, Pringle, Stewart, and Teacher (1921), Bartels (1935), Lyall (1935), Terracol (1938), andLodge (1955a).…”

“…These figures would suggest that the association is more than coincidental. On the other hand, most of the patients in the latter series were severely debilitated and five of the six had had abdominal operations, which are well known as a cause of oesophagitis, especially if there has been vomiting or nasogastric intubation (Butt and Vinson, 1936).…”

“…Bartels (1935), for example, described an incidence of only 0.013%, and Butt and Vinson (1936b) found the lesion in only 7.02% of their series. The present investigation, however, is the first in which all specimens were examined microscopically irrespective of naked-eye appearances.…”

Non-specific oesophagitis is well recognized as a sequel to operations for the relief of cardiospasm and in association w:th hiatus hernia (Belsey, 1953). The frequency with which oesophagitis occurs in general hospital practice is, however, not widely appreciated. This is probably due mainly to the mildness or absence of symptoms in many cases of oesophagitis. The purpose of the present paper is to stress the frequency of the lesion, particularly as a result of confinement to bed, and to suggest the gravity of the possible clinical sequelae if the condition is unrecognized and untreated. METHODThe findings are based on the examination of the oesophagi from 500 unselected hospital necropsies, and on a similar review of the oesophagi from 100 cases of sudden death. Patients in the latter group had been in apparently good health until the onset of their fatal illnesses, which lasted not longer than 24 hours. Some were the victims of industrial or road accidents; others collapsed and died in the street or at work. From the pathological aspect, whether there was evidence of oesophagitis macroscopically or not, blocks of the oesophagus were examined microscopically.Clinically the case history of each patient was reviewed to determine the relationship between oesophagitis and a number of factors considered of importance by previous writers. RESULTSIn the 500 hospital patients the incidence of oesophagitis was 36 %, composed of 31 % showing an acute lesion and 5 % with chronic oesophagitis. Grouping the cases into three arbitrarily decided grades of severity (Lodge, 1955), 20.5% of the lesions were of the most advanced type with widespread destruction of the oesophageal mucosa and inflammation extending into the muscularis externa. In the " sudden death " series 8 % had oesophagitis, composed of 3% showing an acute lesion and 5% chronic oesophagitis with fibrosis of the wall.
