title: [Primary herpetic esophageal infection in an immunocompetent patient].
abstract: Herpetic esophageal primary infection is not a common event in immunocompetent patients. The case of a 27-year-old immunocompetent woman who developed herpetic esophagitis involving the whole esophagus as a manifestation of primary herpetic infection is presented. The endoscopic appearance initially suggested esophageal candidiasis, which is not an exceptional event.
