Is the Sars-CoV-2 virus a possible trigger agent for the development of achalasia?

2022-09-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Previous studies have suggested that achalasia is an autoimmune disease whose probable causal agent is a neurotropic virus that chronically infects the myenteric plexus of the esophagus and, in a genetically susceptible host, induces the disease. The association between achalasia and coronaviruses has not been reported in the literature. <h4>AIMS</h4> To evaluate the presence of the SARS-CoV-2...
