title: [Kikuchi syndrome, Hashimoto thyroiditis and lupus serology. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) is an uncommon disease of the cervical lymph nodes occurring in young women, commonly associated with various auto-immune or infectious diseases. We describe the case of a 17 year-old girl who presented a Kikuchi's lymphadenitis occurring concomitantly with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and lupus serology as anti-nuclear, anti-DNA, anticardiolipid antibodies and hypocomplementemia. The patient was treated with prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. Thirty months after, she is doing well and hydroxychloroquine is continued.
