Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Infection

Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a self-limited disease that is more common in young Asian women. Typical presentations included fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. The etiology of KFD is unknown, and diagnosis is based mainly on lymph node biopsy. KFD has been reported to be associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. However, the role of antibiotic treatment is unclear. We reported 2 cases of KFD associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and were successfully treated with a macrolide.

Necrotizing Lymphadenitis

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.
