ABSTRACT
Bacterial esophagitis is an uncommon disease and has not been well characterized. Bacterial infection of the esophagus is usually presented as a superimposed infection upon a preexisting viral or fungal esophagitis and most patients are immunocompromised hosts. A 67-year-old man was admitted for retrosternal pain and hematemesis, who had a past history of long-standing diabetes mellitus and end stage renal disease, also had a history of steroid medication. Extensive esophageal ulcerations of the mucosa were visualized by endoscopy. Staphylococcus aureus grew in blood culture. After the 2 weeks of antibiotics treatment, he was successfully recovered without any sequelae. Due to its rarity, this case is herein reported with a review of the corresponding literature.
