Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), or histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis, is a benign condition of unknown cause.
  • It presents with lymphadenopathy, fever, and neutropenia, and is sometimes linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Observation:

  • This report details an atypical case of KFD in an Asian woman.
  • The patient experienced recurrent episodes over a five-year period before diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the variable clinical course of KFD.
  • Recurrent histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis can occur over extended periods.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of KFD's clinical spectrum.
  • Further research may clarify the relationship between KFD and autoimmune conditions like SLE.
