Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 May;109(5):393-394. doi: 10.17235/reed.2017.4616/2016.

Abstract

Association between eosinophilic esophagitis and herpetic esophagitis has been suggested in some studies but it continues been so controversial. We present two clinical cases of two immunocompetent patients who did not have any previous predisposing treatment and who present both diseases; that is the reason we suggest that they may have any relation.
