Kikuchi's disease is usually a self limiting illness
characterised by pyrexia, neutropenia, and cervical lymphadenopathy
particularly in young women of Asian descent. This often leads to an
initial misdiagnosis of lymphoma. A case of a young Asian woman who
presented with pyrexia of unknown origin is described.
Keywords: pyrexia of unknown origin; cervical lymphadenopathy
