Unusual esophageal ulcers containing enveloped viruslike particles in homosexual men.

Abstract:

:Eight homosexual men presented with odynophagia. Five had a maculopapular rash and 2 had oral ulcers. Upper panendoscopy revealed the presence of multiple discrete ulcers measuring 3 mm-1.5 cm in diameter in the esophagus of each patient. The intervening mucosa appeared normal. Endoscopic brushings and biopsy specimens taken from the ulcer margins and examined by light microscopy showed no inclusion bodies or giant cells. Fungal stains were negative. Biopsy specimens examined by electron microscopy revealed enveloped virus-like particles 100-140 nm in diameter, exhibiting morphologic features consistent with retroviruses. No virus was isolated after incubation in either rhesus monkey kidney or human foreskin fibroblast culture. Serology for cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus was consistent with past infection. In each patient the esophageal ulcers healed completely. In summary, an illness characterized by the presence of esophageal ulcers is described in 8 homosexual men, 5 of whom also had a skin rash and 2 of whom had oral ulcers. The cause of the esophageal ulcers is likely to be the enveloped viruslike particles observed at electron microscopy.
