Recurrent Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease with Aseptic Meningitis and Familial Occurrence: A Rare Presentation

Abstract

Recurrent Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease (KFD) with neurological manifestations is a rare entity. It usually presents with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis is based on clinical grounds and typical histological findings of lymph node biopsy. Mostly KFD is self-limiting. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or steroids may be needed in severe recurrent disease.We report a case of recurrent KFD in a 28-year-old male presenting with aseptic meningitis who has a family history of KFD.
