Abstract
The prevalence of infectious esophagitis in immunocompetent people is low. The main etiological agent is HSV1, affecting mainly young men4 with intense odynophagia and dysphagia. It is unknown whether SARS-CoV-2 infection or its vaccine are predisposing factors. The objective is to determine the clinical, diagnostic, endoscopic and therapeutic characteristics of patients diagnosed with viral esophagitis since the beginning of the pandemic.
