“…According to small observational studies, more severe cases have been linked to a higher degree of skin involvement. 17 Fine needle aspiration cytology, which was used to test for KFD, has been associated with 50% of false-negative results, and a lymph node excisional biopsy is the only way to accurately diagnose this disease. 11 KFD typically resolves in 1-4 months with a recurrence rate of 3-4%, 12 however, coexistence with SLE may result in a more aggressive fatal course, and lead to sudden heart failure, severe sepsis, and HLH, leading to coagulopathy and multiorgan failure.…”

Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare, benign condition affecting young Oriental-Asian females. It is characterized by fever and tender cervical lymphadenopathy with an unclear aetiology, and in most longitudinal reviews, KFD occurs before systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Herein, the case of a 28-year-old Kuwaiti female without any relevant past medical history, who was simultaneously diagnosed with KFD and SLE following an Ebstein–Barr virus infection, is reported. The patient was treated with oral prednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, cyclosporin, and belimumab and her response was clinically and biochemically favourable. Although KFD is prevalent in Asian populations, it may affect all races. Early diagnosis of KFD is difficult, particularly when simultaneously diagnosed with SLE, but crucial to preventing inappropriate therapy. Clinicians need to know about this rare disease, especially when patients present with fever and swollen lymph nodes, due to a risk of misdiagnosis with tuberculosis or lymphoma, as these are more often thought to be the cause of such symptoms.
