The typical presentation is unexplained fever with associated cervical lymphadenopathy. It can mimic many sinister diseases such as lymphoma, tuberculosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Aseptic meningitis due to Kikuchi disease is extremely rare, and majority were reported from Japan. There have been no published cases of aseptic meningitis due to Kikuchi disease in Sri Lanka.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 29\u00a0years old Sri Lankan female presented with a prolonged fever for three weeks with an associated headache for five days duration. She developed painful cervical lymphadenopathy during the hospital stay. She has been previously well and had been vaccinated against COVID-19 six weeks before. Her lumbar puncture showed lymphocytic pleocytosis with marginally elevated protein levels and reduced ratio of serum to CSF sugar. Lymph node biopsy was consistent with necrotizing lymphadenitis. She was subsequently diagnosed with Kikuchi disease complicated with aseptic meningitis. She responded to corticosteroids well and had an uneventful recovery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Kikuchi disease is a rare self-limiting disorder that can be complicated with aseptic meningitis on infrequent occasions. Other conditions such as tuberculosis, lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus, and adult-onset Still\u2019s disease should be considered as differential diagnoses. Knowledge of Kikuchi disease and its complications will prevent unnecessary investigations which delay the early diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04541-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]],"date-time":"2024-06-06T00:02:12Z","timestamp":1717632132000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Kikuchi disease complicated with aseptic meningitis following COVID-19 Vaccination: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Manana Dewage Sankani Vishvara","family":"Kularathna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arjuna","family":"Medagama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruwanthi","family":"Bandara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duminda","family":"Yasarathna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Madugeta Kumarage Ishara","family":"Dilani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thushani","family":"Anuththara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"4541_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1002\/ajh.10335","volume":"74","author":"G Famularo","year":"2003","unstructured":"Famularo G, Giustiniani MC, Marasco A, Minisola G, Nicotra GC, De Simone C.
