Kikuchi-Fujimoto’s Disease And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Keywords:
Kikuchi and Fujimoto’s Disease, Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenopathy, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Discoid Lupus ErythematosusAbstract
Kikuchi and Fujimoto’s Disease, also known as Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenopathy, is a rare and, usually, benign disorder,
of unknown aetiology. Generally presents with lymphadenopathy
and fever. Its association with systemic lupus erythematosus is
recognised and it can be diagnosed before, simultaneously or
after the diagnosis of lupus. The authors report a clinical case
of a female patient in whom Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
was diagnosed 10 years after Kikuchi and Fujimoto’s Disease in complete remission.
