    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Herpes simplex esophagitis typically affects immunocompromised individuals.
    • Esophagitis presents as inflammation of the esophagus, causing pain and difficulty swallowing.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of severe, self-limiting esophagitis in immunocompetent children are presented.
    • Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was identified as the causative agent in both cases.

    Findings:

    • HSV-1 can cause severe esophagitis even in healthy young children.
    • The condition was severe but resolved without specific antiviral treatment.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider HSV-1 esophagitis in the differential diagnosis of acute severe odynophagia in children.
    • Early consideration of this viral cause can aid in appropriate patient management and prevent unnecessary investigations.
