Barium esophagraphy details the mucosal lining, but an esophagram is not as sensitive as endoscopy for detailing infectious esophagitis. Lesions of HSV and CMV are usually limited to the mid and distal esophagus, whereas Candida spp. esophagitis may be more diffuse and appear as white longitudinal plaques or tiny nodular lesions with a granular appearance (8.1). Discrete stellate ulcers in the mid esophagus is typical of HSV (8.2), whereas elongated or oval large ulcers are characteristic of CMV.
