AI Article Synopsis
- A patient developed Kikuchi-Fujimoto necrotizing lymphadenitis during her first trimester but successfully carried the pregnancy to full term without adverse effects.
- In two later pregnancies, there were no signs of the disorder reactivating or harming the fetuses.
- The findings suggest that the presence of Kikuchi-Fujimoto necrotizing lymphadenitis in the first trimester should not be a reason to terminate a pregnancy.
Article Abstract
Necrotizing lymphadenitis of the Kikuchi-Fujimoto type developed in our patient during her first trimester of pregnancy, but she carried the infant to full term with no apparent adverse effect. Two subsequent pregnancies were not associated with reactivation of the disorder, nor with any recognizable adverse effect on the fetuses. A pregnancy should not be terminated because of Kikuchi-Fujimoto necrotizing lymphadenitis when it develops during the first trimester of pregnancy.
