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.

Kikuchi Fujimoto hastalığında steroid kullanım endikasyonları: bir olgu sunumu

Öz

Kİkuchi Fujimoto Hastalığı (KFH), etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmeyen, genellikle selim seyreden ve kendini sınırlayan bir hastalıktır. KFH için bir tedavi kılavuzu bulunmamaktadır; tedavi önerileri klinik deneyime dayanır ve genel yaklaşım destek tedavisi şeklindedir. Ancak hastalık bazen ciddi bir seyir izler. Ağır seyreden, dirençli semptomları olan ve tekrarlayan hastalık için daha net ve etkili tedavi seçeneklerine ihtiyaç vardır. Biz de yazımızda, sistemik steroide yanıt veren bir olgumuz aracılığıyla, KFH' da steroid kullanım endikasyonlarını vurgulamak istedik.
