title: Kikuchi fujimoto disease and systemic lupus erythematosus--a rare association.
abstract: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Kikuchi Fujimoto disease may precede, follow or coincide with the diagnosis of SLE. We report a case who was initially diagnosed as Kikuchi Fujimoto disease with SLE. She is presently in remission after treatment of SLE.
