Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare condition during childhood characterized with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Definitive diagnosis of the disease can only be made histologically on lymph node biopsy. Hemophagocytic syndrome associated with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is especially rare. In this article, we present a case of an eight years old girl diagnosed as hemophagocytic syndrome associated with KikuchiFujimoto disease. (Turk Arch Ped 2013; 48: 71-3)


Kikuchi-Fujimoto hastalığı ile birlikte hemofagositik sendrom

Kikuchi-Fujimoto hastalığı, ateş ve boyunda lenfadenopati ile nitelenen, çocukluk çağında nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Hastalığın kesin tanısı sadece histolojik olarak lenf nodu biyopsi ile konulabilir. Kikuchi-Fujimoto hastalığının hemofagositik sendromla birlikteliği çok daha nadirdir. Bu makalede KikuchiFujimoto hastalığıyla birlikte hemofagositik sendrom tanısı alan sekiz yaşındaki kız olgu sunulmuştur. (Türk Ped Arş 2013; 48: 71-3)
