Highlighting steroid indications for Kikuchi Fujimoto disease: a case report
Abstract
Kikuchi Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, generally benign and self limited condition with an unknown etiology. There isn’t a guideline for treatment of KFD, recommendations for treatment are based on clinical experience and management is typically supportive. However, sometimes more ominous course of the disease may be experienced. Thus, for the patients with severe disease, refractory symptoms and recurrences, more definite and efficient treatment options are required. Here, we aimed to emphasize the indications of steroid treatment via a case of KFD resolved after systemic steroids.
