A 52-year-old woman with a 6-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea accompanied by hypocomplementemia. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) esophagitis and lupus enteritis were diagnosed on the basis of the results of endoscopic and histological examinations and abdominal computed tomography (CT) findings. Treatment with acyclovir followed by high-dose intravenous steroids improved her symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case of simultaneous HSV esophagitis and lupus enteritis.
