A Case of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Associated with Kikuchi-Fujimoto's Disease
Correspondence to : Sang-Hyon Kim
Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease (KFD) is a rare self-limiting necrotizing lymphadenitis found mainly in young women. Patients typically present with lymphadenopathy and often with a high fever. The etiology of the disease remains unknown, but various infection and autoimmune processes have been postulated to be the cause. We report here on a 22-year-old female with 7-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus presented with high fever and many enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Neck computed tomography scan showed multiple lymphadenopathies and KFD was proven by under sonographic guidance percutaneous needle biopsy.

Abstract
Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease (KFD) is a rare self-limiting necrotizing lymphadenitis found mainly in young women. Patients typically present with lymphadenopathy and often with a high fever. The etiology of the disease remains unknown, but various infection and autoimmune processes have been postulated to be the cause. We report here on a 22-year-old female with 7-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus presented with high fever and many enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Neck computed tomography scan showed multiple lymphadenopathies and KFD was proven by under sonographic guidance percutaneous needle biopsy.
