A 63-year-old man presented with hematemesis, melena, dysphagia, and odynophagia was admitted to the GI unit. The patient gave a history of inguinal hernia repair 27 days ago and chest infection 17 days ago (suspected case of COVID-19). The patient underwent upper digestive endoscopy. The scope revealed acute ulcerative ( erosive) esophagitis# involving the lower and middle thirds sparing the area above the gastroesophageal junction.
The patient underwent another upper GI endoscopy 53 days after the previous one. The recent scope revealed that the esophageal inflammation is totally resolved with increased vasculature at the site of previous inflammation (the last half minute in this video)
