Pathophysiology
Some studies have suggested a genetic predisposition to the proposed autoimmune response. Several infectious candidates have been associated with Kikuchi's disease[1].
There are many postulates about the etiology of Kikuchi disease. A microbial/ viral or autoimmune cause has been suggested. Mycobacterium szulgai, Yersinia and Toxoplasma have been implicated. More recently there has been growing evidence of the role of Epstein-Barr virus, as well as other viruses (HHV6, HHV8, Parvovirus B19, HIV- and HTLV-1) in the pathogenesis of Kikuchi disease. [2] But serologic tests including antibodies to a host of viruses have consistently proven noncontributory and no viral particles have been identified ultrastructurally.
It is now proposed that Kikuchi disease is a nonspecific hyperimmune reaction to a variety of infectious, chemical, physical and neoplastic agents. It is possible that Kikuchi disease may represent an exuberant T-cell mediated immune response in a genetically susceptible individual to a variety of non-specific stimuli. [2]
Associated Conditions
Kikuchi's disease has been reported to be associated with infections such as:
In addition to SLE, other autoimmune conditions and manifestations such as antiphospholipid syndrome, polymyositis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, bilateral uveitis, arthritis and cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis have been linked to Kikuchi disease.
