		Introduction : Kikuchi Disease (KD) was first described in 1972 in young Asian females, predominantly in Japan.
		The diagnosis of KD came as a sense of relief to our patient because the other diseases in the differential diagnoses including HIV, infectious mononucleosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Kawasaki disease and malignant lymphoma, could have been very distressful to the patient.
		KD has been recognized in the United States and should be considered in the differential of lymphadenitis in young individuals.

		On physical examination she appeared drowsy and diaphoretic with a fever of 39 degrees C, stiff neck, multiple tender 1-2 cm posterior cervical lymph nodes, and diffuse red partially blanching almost confluent patches and papules on the face and extremities.
		A lymph node biopsy was consistent with histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease), and a skin biopsy showed a perivascular and perifollicular mononuclear cell infiltration, vacuolar degeneration of basal cell layer, presence of necrotic keratinocytes, papillary dermal edema, and karyorrhexis.
		These changes are typical of Kikuchi's disease, a self-limited inflammatory disorder characterized by fever and cervical lymphadenopathy in young woman.
