Overview
DES must be differentiated from other diseases that cause chest pain and dysphagia, such as Angina, GERD, eosinophilic/infectious/radiation esophagitis, stricture/webs/rings as well as other motility disorders like nutcracker esophagus and hypertensive LES.
Differentiating DES from other Diseases
- DES must be differentiated from other diseases that cause chest pain, dysphagia and weight loss, such as , [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
- [Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
- As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].
