KF disease should be kept in mind for patients presenting with fever and CLN. Lymphoma, TB and autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus should be excluded in such patients. Kikuchi-Fujimoto (KF) disease should be kept in mind in patients presenting with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy with or without other constitutional symptoms.There are no confirmatory blood tests and KF disease requires histopathological examination of involved lymph nodes for confirmation.Autoimmune disease like systemic lupus erythematosus, tuberculosis, lymphoma and other malignancies should be ruled out by appropriate investigations.Recurrence of disease, although rare, is a possibility and needs histopathology for confirmation.
