title: Papillary conjunctivitis associated with Kikuchi disease.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of papillary conjunctivitis associated with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD).
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 35-year-old black man developed bilateral eye redness before developing high fevers and cervical lymphadenopathy. Mediastinoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of KFD. The eye redness resolved on a regimen of prednisone 60 mg daily and recurred after corticosteroids were discontinued. The patient was found to have bilateral papillary conjunctivitis that resolved with topical prednisolone acetate.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Papillary conjunctivitis may be associated with KFD.
