Kikuchi's disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis): A rare presentation with acute kidney injury, peripheral neuropathy, and aseptic meningitis with cutaneous involvement

Abstract

Kikuchi's disease (KD) also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis is rare, idiopathic, generally self-limited cause of lymphadenitis. We present a case of twenty year young female who presented in critically ill state with fever, cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy, rash, vomiting and altered sensorium and found to have neurological, hepatic, renal and dermatological involvement. Kikuchi's disease should be considered in differential diagnosis of fever and lymphadenopathy and though benign can sometimes present with multi-organ involvement. It is because of rarity of this disease with unusual complications, present case is reported.

Research Protocol for Assessment of Solitary and Combined effect of Guduchi and Punarnava on Structural and Functional Changes of Ageing in Liver and Kidney in Wistar Rats

“…It may help in delaying aging process in individuals also. A number of studies on different liver conditions [23][24][25][26] and kidney diseases [27][28][29][30] were reviewed. Khan et al reported a study on Evaluation of In Vitro Anti-Cancer Activity of Kukkutanakhi Guggula on Liver, Prostrate, Ovary and Renal Cancer [31].…”

Neuroligical Disorders Due To Malnourishments

“…every individual of any age can get malnourished if balanced diet is not taken. even the rich or middle people can suffer from it if they don`t have a balanced diet (kelly et al, 2004;Mintzer et al, 2006).…”

“…iodine deficiency is also important cause of mental retardation At least 120 000 children every year are born cretins -mentally retarded, physically stunted, deaf-mute or paralysed -as a result of iodine deficiency. Annually an average of 60000 miscarriages and neonatal deaths occurs due to iodine deficiency (Beaglehole, 2014;kelly, 2004). selenium deficiency -is the cause behind random and adverse mood swings.…”

Review article on COVID-19 and Guillain-Barré syndrome

“…Interesting studies on Guillain Barre syndrome were reported by Yadav et al [23] and Balwani et al [24]. Cases of myeloneuropathy and polyneuropathy were reported by Jain et al [25] and Acharya et al [26]. Rathi et al [27] reported on nerve conduction studies of peripheral motor and sensory nerves in the subjects with prediabetes.…”
