title: Variability in the clinical presentation and endoscopic findings of herpetic esophagitis.
abstract: Three cases of herpetic esophagitis are reported in which the endoscopic features were non-specific and the triad of odynophagia, retrosternal pain and fever was absent, suggesting that the endoscopic and clinical presentation may be more variable than previously described.
