Abstract
A case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is presented in the context of pyrexia of unknown origin. Although no specific etiology has been identified, several reported cases are associated with a variety of viruses, toxoplasma, or systemic lupus erythematosus. We present a case and discuss the implications for management.
