ABSTRACT
We retrospectively analyzed 23 cases of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) admitted to our hospital as fever of unknown origin (FUO).Fever,lymphadenopathy and skin rash were the most common clinical manifestation.The major laboratory features included cytopenia,abnormal liver enzyme and elevated inflammatory markers.Three of the 23 cases were finally diagnosed as infectious disease,5 as autoimmune disease,while the left 15 remained as HNL during the follow-up.Four of the 15 HNL patients resolved spontaneously,while the other 11 relieved by steroid use.Two patients relapsed during the follow-up.HNL was one of the rare causes of FUO.Since it would be accompanied with infectious,autoimmune or malignant diseases,long follow-up is necessary.
