Esophagitis NOS (not otherwise specified) is a term used to describe inflammation of the esophagus that does not fit into any of the more specific categories of esophagitis. It is usually caused by an infection, such as a virus, bacteria, or fungus, or by an allergic reaction to a medication or food.
