Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare benign condition also called histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, which typically presented as fever with cervical lymphadenopathy in previously healthy individual. We presented a case of 11 year old boy with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy since 2 months. Lymph node biopsy was performed which suggested of KFD and was treated symptomatically. KFD incidence is rare but clinicians should be alert if young patient comes with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy to lower the chance of unwanted laboratory test and harmful treatment.

Do So

In “Double Effect Donation,” Camosy and Vukov argue that “there are circumstances in which it is morally permissible for a healthy individual to donate their organs even though their death is a foreseeable outcome”. They propose that a living donor could ethically donate an entire, singular, vital organ while knowing that this act would result in death. In reply, I argue that it is not ethical for a living person to donate an entire, singular, vital organ. Moreover, mutatis mutandis, it is not ethical for surgeons and others to perform such a deadly operation. For to do so is “intentionally to cause the death of the donor in disposing of his organs”. Such an act violates the dead donor rule which holds that an entire, singular, vital organ may be taken only from a corpse. Contrary to Camosy and Vukov’s claims, double-effect reasoning does not endorse such organ donation.

He gives an outline of the key areas of his theory of emotional development in the individual: the cornerstones of his life’s work in psychoanalysis.
