If the clinical course is more severe, with multiple flares of bulky enlarged cervical lymph nodes and fever, then a low-dose corticosteroid treatment has been suggested.[15] Epidemiology[edit] Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting disorder [en.wikipedia.org]

[citation needed] Pathophysiology[edit] Some studies have suggested a genetic predisposition to the proposed autoimmune response. Several infectious candidates have been associated with Kikuchi disease.[9] Many theories exist about the cause of KFD. [en.wikipedia.org]

Awareness of this disorder helps prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.[1] Kikuchi's disease is a very rare disease mainly seen in Japan. [en.wikipedia.org]
