IntroductionKikuchi-Fujimoto's disease or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis is a benign disease predominantly occurring in young women which etiology remains unknown and revealed by cervical lymphadenitis and/or prolonged fever.ObservationsThis report describes a survey of four patients who developed Kikuchi's lymphadenitis occurring concomitantly with LES in one case and actinomycosis in another case. The definite diagnosis is usually made through histopathological examination of a lymph node biopsy. The evolution was favorable under corticosteroid therapy in two patients, antibiotics in the third and only antipyretic in the fourth.ConclusionThe authors bring report through these three observations, the diagnostic difficulties, the therapeutic means of the disease of Kikuchi, as well as its evolutionary aspects.
