  • Title: Kikuchi's lymphadenitis: report of a Yersinia enterocolitica-associated case and an overview of aetiology and clinical outcome.
    Author: Heikens J, Tel W, van de Stadt J, de Koning J, ten Napel CH.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 1992 Dec; 41(5-6):222-8. PubMed ID: 1494401.
    Abstract:
    Kikuchi's lymphadenitis (KL; histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis without granulocytic infiltration) is a generally benign, febrile disorder of unknown aetiology with distinct histological features. To date, a minority of cases reported have been associated with infectious agents. A typical pathological case of KL is described where involvement of Yersinia enterocolitica was shown by an indirect immunofluorescent assay applied to lymphatic tissue. The case is discussed with emphasis on recent insight into the course and aetiology of KL.
