Kikuchi in 1972 as an independent disease of lymph nodes with a self-limiting clinical course.1 This disease has been reported in different geographic regions, chiefly in Japan, but its etiology remains unknown. Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis occurs predominantly in adult females and is rare in children.2,3 Characteristic clinical symptoms of this disease include persistent fever and painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Abnormal laboratory findings include leukopenia, thrombocytopenia in the peripheral blood and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, with occasional hepatomegaly and splenomegaly.2 Typical histopathological findings are observed on lymph nodes biopsy.3 Recently, we encountered a child in whom leukocytoclastic vasculitis had occurred during the course of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis has been known to be complicated with anthema, aseptic meningitis, cerebellar ataxia and autoimmune dysfunctions, but there have been no previous reports of complication with vasculitis. We investigated the etiology of the two conditions in this patient on the basis of her clinical course and laboratory data including histology.
