BACKGROUND Kikuchi Fujimoto disease is an uncommon benign condition of necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis commonly seen in East Asian and Japanese populations. It commonly presents with fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, and elevated inflammatory markers. Diagnosis of Kikuchi Fujimoto disease is based on histopathological studies of the involved lymph nodes. The presentation of Kikuchi Fujimot...

Sulphosalts in the system AgSbS2-AgAsS2 have been experimentally investigated using dry methods. The solid solutions which form between ?-miargyrite and smithite have different structures. The EPMA data for the solid solution series show that there is an inverse relation between Sb and As. The cell parameters of the solid solution between ?-miargyrite and smithite increase up to about 50% of...

A 27-year old woman presented with fever, weight loss, arthralgia, macular skin rash and bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. The histology of an excised lymph node showed evidence suggestive of Kikuchi disease. Subsequent laboratory tests showed evidence of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, underscoring the importance of considering other diagnoses in a nodal histological diagnosis of Kikuchi disea...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the ultrasonographic (USG) findings of Kikuchi cervical lymphadenopathy in pediatric patients. METHODS Between April 2007 and September 2016, 84 children (42 male and 42 female; mean±standard deviation age, 12.9±3.2 years; range, 5 to 18 years) confirmed with Kikuchi disease were enrolled. Clinical findings and USG findings of Kikuchi cervical ...

OBJECTIVE Although tuberculous lymphadenitis and Kikuchi disease are common causes of cervical lymphadenopathy in Asians and exhibit similar clinical manifestations, their treatment strategies are totally different. The purpose of this study was to identify ultrasonographic features that distinguish these two diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was approved by the Institutional Review ...

Electrons backscattered from crystals can show Kikuchi patterns: variations in intensity for different outgoing directions due to diffraction by the lattice. Here, we measure these effects as a function of their energy loss for 30 keV electrons backscattered from silicon. The change in diffraction contrast with energy loss depends strongly on the scattering geometry. At steep incidence on the s...

The Kikuchi pattern gives a lot of information about diffracted waves under different incident conditions, because the forms by inelastic scattered electrons having various directions. By analyzing intensity pattern, equivalent to results measured many conditions can be obtained. To analyze it is necessary know scattering cross-section. As first step, we estimated “apparent” cross-section in co...
