Abstract

We present the case of a 17-year-old patient with no known comorbidity or history who was admitted due to dysphagia. Endoscopy revealed ulcerated lesions in the distal esophagus that were positive for herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) on immunohistochemistry. An examination of HSV-1 esophagitis in the immunocompetent patient is made.
