Abstract
- Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, or Kikuchi's disease, is a benign self-limiting febrile illness usually affecting young women, which is manifested clinically by fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Skin involvement in Kikuchi's disease is not frequent and Kikushi's disease presenting as aseptic meningitis is rare, with only three previous reports in English literature to date. We present a 16-year-old girl with cervical lymphadenopathy and fever who was diagnosed with Kikuchi's disease, suffering from multiple transient erythematous maculopapular skin lesions and presenting as aseptic meningitis.
