Negative Correlation Between Serum Ferritin and CD4+ Lymphocytes: A Retrospective Study on Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease. [PDF]
This retrospective cohort study indicates that patients with Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease demonstrated immunosuppression characterized by decreased counts of circulating CD3+ and CD4+ lymphocytes. Moreover, serum ferritin levels were inversely correlated with CD4+ lymphocyte counts, suggesting a potential role of ferritin in immune dysregulation in Kikuchi–

Localised Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease With Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy: A Case Initially Mimicking Malignant Lymphoma on Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Cytology. [PDF]
We report a rare case of isolated mediastinal Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD) in a 37‐year‐old woman, which was initially misinterpreted as malignant lymphoma based on EBUS‐TBNA cytology. Definitive diagnosis was achieved through video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery, revealing characteristic massive necrosis and histiocytic infiltration.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease: investigating comprehensive clinicopathological features and risk factors for recurrence. [PDF]
Comprehensive clinicopathological analysis of 112 cases of Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease (KFD) was conducted, and offered insights into recurrence risk factors and histopathological patterns. Recurrent KFD may fall between transient KFD and overt autoimmune disorders and lead to a better understanding of the aetiology of KFD.
