Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease: part of the differential diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy in an HIV-positive patient
A 38-year-old HIV-positive Nigerian woman presented with a three-week history of cervical lymphadenopathy, night sweats, weight loss and fever. Provisional diagnoses of tuberculosis and lymphoma were considered; however, a histological diagnosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease was reached. This rare benign disease has presenting features that mimic more serious conditions commonly occurring in HIV-positive patients. This case report emphasises the importance of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease in the differential diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy in HIV-positive patients.

A case of female urogenital schistosomiasis presenting as viral warts
Schistosomiasis is uncommon in the UK but is found in migrant populations and in those who travel to areas of endemic schistosomiasis.

Female urogenital schistosomiasis (arising from infection by Schistosoma haematobium, endemic in Africa and the Middle East) may show a variety of lesions in the female genital tract, some of which may be misdiagnosed as viral warts. One such case is presented here. A young woman presented with lesions on the labia minora suspected to be viral warts which had not responded to treatment with cryotherapy. Bi...
