- Abstract
- Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) is the benign self limiting disease of an unknown origin. It causes painful lymphadenopathy with frequent fever, and it usually occurs in young adults. Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare disorder of an unknown origin, and it's characterized by high spiking fever, polyarthritis/polyarthralgia, evanescent erythematous maculopapular rash, leukocytosis and the involvement of various organs. We have experienced a case of 34-year-old woman with AOSD and histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. Considering that no definite etiology has been established for both disorders, the coexistence of both conditions in this patient suggests the possibility that they share a common immunologic pathway.(Korean J Med 71:S1138-S1141, 2006)
