title: [Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in Gabon. Description of first 2 cases in Gabon].
abstract: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare disorder sometimes associated with systemic lupus. It has rarely been reported in the black African population. The purpose of this report is to describe the first two cases in Gabon. In patients presenting enlarged cervical lymph nodes, it is first necessary to rule out infectious disease. Histology can allow diagnosis by demonstrating necrotizing histiocyte lymphadenitis.
