A case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is presented in the context of pyrexia of unknown origin. Although no specific etiology has been identified, several reported cases are associated with a variety of viruses, toxoplasma, or systemic lupus erythematosus. We present a case and discuss the implications
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, a benign and unusual self-limiting histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis of unknown origin, should be included in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy and fever of unknown origin. This disease mostly affects young Asian women and has rarely been reported in
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare lymphohistiocytic disorder which can cause prolonged fever and other systemic B symptoms including diffuse lymphadenopathy. Given its clinical presentation, there is often initial concern for lymphoma and diagnosis requires lymph node biopsy. It most
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare, benign cause of necrotising lymphadenitis often presenting with fever. We describe a case of a 17-year-old boy with non-verbal autism presenting to our intensive care unit with prolonged fever of unknown cause. This case highlights the role of the intensive care
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a self-limited disease characterized by necrotizing lymphadenitis. Although cervical lymphadenitis in young women is the most familiar clinical presentation, it may take place in the etiology of fever in cases presenting with fever of unknown origin. A 33-year-old
Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease (KFD) can present with dysphasia, fever and lymphadenopathy. A young Bangladeshi girl presented with fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, dysphasia, weight loss and skin rash. Antitubercular drugs were given on clinical judgement, with no improvement after one month. Later, fine
A 26-year-old man was hospitalized with a 1-month history of fever. Cervical lymph node biopsy showed necrosis in the paracortical area with abundant nuclear debris and proliferation of histiocytes. A diagnosis of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) (Kikuchi's disease) was made. He received
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare and benign disease that typically affects the cervical lymph nodes. Its aetiology is unknown and a role of the autoimmune system in the pathogenesis is hypothesized. This self-limiting disease is often confused with malignancies. No specific management is
We describe a case of fever of unknown origin (FUO) in a 9-y-old boy finally diagnosed with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) and discuss the implications for the management of FUO in children. KFD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with FUO to prevent
We report the case of a 72-year patient presented with fever of unknown origin. Initial clinical and radiological findings suggested a diagnosis of lymphoma. However, subsequent histology revealed Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD). KFD is predominantly a self-limiting disease of the young, but should
Background. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is typically a self-limited, benign illness which presents with fever and lymphadenopathy. It is rare in Caucasians, normally occurring in those of Asian descent. The aetiology is poorly understood, but it appears to be an autoimmune disorder with a
Introduction: Haemoglobin H (Hb H) disease is an alpha thalassemia characterised by either 3 alpha-globin gene deletions (deletional type) or 2 alpha-globin gene deletions with 1-point mutation (nondeletional type). Haemoglobin H-Constant
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare, benign, and self-limiting condition that mostly affects young females. Cervical lymphadenopathy with fever is the most common presentation of the disease. It may have unusual presentations that can lead to diagnostic dilemma and delay in diagnosis. We report a
A 28-year-old Pakistani man with previously treated latent tuberculosis (TB) presented with a 3-month history of productive cough, fever, drenching night sweats, anorexia, sore throat and tender left cervical lymphadenopathy. Extensive biochemical and microbiological tests, and imaging studies were
We report a case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) in a 28-year-old pregnant woman with prolonged fever and generalized lymphadenopathy. We evaluated the patient for etiology of the fever and adenopathy, which were unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Cervical lymph node histology showed KFD.
