HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE 7 AND EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS AS STRANGE CAUSES FOR GASTRIC ULCER.

It is important to think about the viral involvement of the gastrointestinal tract in the immunocompromised patients. We present the case of a patient with a digestive hemorrhage secondary to a gastric ulcer due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 7 and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) after an allotransplantation of hematopoietic progenitors because of an acute myeloblastic leukaemia. With this, we try to remark the importance of thinking about others pathogens in these patients and the implications that this implies for the treatment, since the gastric involvement by HSV 7 has not been previously reported in the literature.
