Herpetic esophagitis (HE) is an uncommon condition in immunocompetent, and even less common in young children. We present the case of a 6-year-old-child with HE and food allergy. Recently the association between atopic conditions, eosinophilic, and herpetic esophagitis has been suggested. Clinical suspicion is the key to diagnosis, especially with persistent symptoms.
