Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease: a rare cause of histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis in young ethnic women

Kikuchi-Fujimoto is a rare but self-limiting disease usually affecting young ethnic females. The main clinical presentation is fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Here we describe the cases of two patients with cervical lymphadenopathy, fever and fatigue. In addition, patients can present with neutropenia; hence, early diagnosis is crucial to exclude a malignant cause.
