    Subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis (N.L.) typically presents with mild fever and enlarged lymph nodes. Some patients may experience prolonged high fevers, emphasizing the need for accurate pathologic diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis (N.L.) is a recognized condition affecting lymph nodes.
    • Typical clinical presentation involves young age, cervical/axillary lymphadenopathy, mild fever, and spontaneous resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and pathologic findings in patients with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis.
    • To highlight atypical presentations and the importance of accurate diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of clinical and pathologic data from 21 patients diagnosed with N.L.
    • Review of lymph node biopsies for characteristic pathologic features.
    • Bacteriologic and serologic studies were conducted.

    Main Results:

    • Most patients (19/21) exhibited typical N.L. clinical features.
    • Two patients presented atypically with high remittent fever, profound prostration, and generalized lymphadenopathy.
    • Pathologic examination revealed characteristic features of N.L. with absence of intensive leukocyte proliferation.
    • Bacteriologic and serologic investigations were negative in all cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis can present with protracted, high fever before spontaneous resolution.
    • Accurate pathologic diagnosis is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis (e.g., lymphoma) and avoid unnecessary interventions.
    • Understanding atypical presentations improves patient management.
