This study presents a case of acute herpetic esophagitis in an immunocompromised patient. Early endoscopic findings showed vesicular lesions, suggesting a new diagnostic stage for this viral infection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Acute herpetic esophagitis is typically diagnosed in immunocompromised patients.
  • Previous cases in Korea showed ulcerating esophageal lesions.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old male, post-kidney transplant and on immunosuppressants, presented with esophageal symptoms.
  • Endoscopy revealed multiple vesicular lesions without ulceration throughout the esophagus.

Findings:

  • Herpes simplex virus DNA was confirmed via in situ hybridization.
  • The observed vesicular lesions represent a potential early stage of acute herpetic esophagitis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known endoscopic presentation of herpetic esophagitis.
