    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Virology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) is a common viral infection.
    • Esophageal involvement by HSV-1 is rare but can lead to significant morbidity.
    • Underdiagnosis of HSV-1 esophagitis contributes to delayed treatment and potential complications.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of esophageal pathology.
    • Endoscopic examination revealed characteristic ulcerations in the esophagus.
    • Histopathological analysis included light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry.

    Findings:

    • Microscopic examination confirmed the presence of viral cytopathic effects consistent with HSV-1.
    • Immunohistochemical staining specifically identified HSV-1 antigens within the esophageal tissue.

  • The findings support HSV-1 as the causative agent of the observed oesophageal ulceration.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering HSV-1 in the differential diagnosis of esophageal ulcers, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
    • Accurate diagnosis through integrated endoscopic and pathological evaluation is crucial for effective management.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the epidemiology and optimize treatment strategies for this under-recognized condition.
