Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 13-yr-old female was admitted to our hospital with fever, seizure, and cervical lym-phadenopathy. Laboratory data showed pancytopenia, elevation of serum transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, triglyceride, and ferritin levels. Lymph node biopsy revealed features of Kikuchi´s disease and there were signs of histiocytosis and hemophagocytic phenomenon in bone marrow. She recovered after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids therapy. Hemophagocytic syndrome can be associated with Kikuchi´s disease especially in childhood and seems to have a less aggressive clinical course and better prognosis.
