Acute herpes simplex esophagitis (HSE) is common in immunocompromised patients. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by immune-mediated eosinophil-predominant esophageal inflammation. We report a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection who presented with dysphagia and odynophagia and was found to have HSE and EoE. The combination of these two relatively rare conditions suggests possible predisposition.

Herpes simplex esophagitis (HSE) represents a rare entity in immunocompetent patients and has infrequently been described in association with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Causality in this rare association remains a debated topic. We present a case of HSE occurring in an immunocompetent adult with EoE and review the literature in support of EoE induced mucosal disruption predisposing to increased risk of HSE.

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous virus which is implicated in diseases ranging from self-curing cold sores to life-threatening infections. The 2500 Å diameter herpes virion is composed of a glycoprotein spike containing, lipid envelope, enclosing a protein layer (the tegument) in which is embedded the capsid (which contains the dsDNA genome). The B-, and A- and C-capsids, representing different morphogenetic stages in HSV-1 infected cells, are composed of 7, and 5 structural proteins respectively. The three capsid types are organized in similar T=16 icosahedral shells with 12 pentons, 150 hexons, and 320 connecting triplexes. Our previous 3D structure study at 26 Å revealed domain features of all these structural components and suggested probable locations for the outer shell proteins, VP5, VP26, VP19c and VP23. VP5 makes up most of both pentons and hexons. VP26 appeared to bind to the VP5 subunit in hexon but not to that in penton.

Confirmation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from genital lesions of obstetrical (OB) patients may affect both the management of the delivery and of the neonate.(l,2) During 1992 and 1993, 4,450 genital specimens from OB patients were submitted in viral transport media for herpes culture. The specimens were inoculated into MRC-5, Vero, and A-549 tissue culture tubes, incubated, and examined daily for 7 days for cytopathic effect (CPE). The original specimens were frozen at −70° C until final reports were issued. Culture tubes with CPE were tested by the Dupont Herpchek enzyme immuno assay (EIA) to confirm the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV). (3,4) 170 OB patient specimens were positive by culture and confirmed by EIA.There were also 63 cultures exhibiting CPE ressembling HSV which were negative by EIA testing, which failed to pass in fresh tissue culture cells or progress to more enhanced CPE in culture. These original specimens were screened by electron microscopy after direct ultracentrifugation employing the Beckman airfuge with the EM 90 rotor on to formvar carbon-coated 300 mesh copper grids and negatively stained with 2% PTA.
