ABSTRACT
Background:
Achalasia, as an incurable disease is defined by the lack of normal esophageal peristalsis and loss of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation due to impaired myenteric neural plexus. The exact cause of myenteric neural cells degeneration in achalasia is still unknown. One hypothesis is that certain neurotropic viruses and autoimmune factors cause the inflammatory response in myenteric network, which consequently destroy neural cells. This study was designed to find the evidence of viral causes of achalasia
