Abstract

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a self-limited disease of unknown etiology that is clinically defined by fevers accompanied by tender posterior cervical lymphadenopathy. It often presents acutely or sub-acutely, and due to its non-specific features, the differential diagnosis is broad and includes infectious, autoimmune, and malignant causes. Although cases of extra-cervical disease are not uncommon, involvement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes has only rarely been reported. Here, we describe a patient with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease who presented with fever of unknown origin, abdominal pain, and enlarged hypermetabolic retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Abstract

Patients received a calculated dose of protamine at two different rates (5 min and 30 min) after coronary artery surgery to determine the relationship of the rate of protamine administration with the adequacy of heparin reversal and the rate of return of antithrombin III (AT III) activity. Plasma heparin concentrations and AT III activities were measured at specific times both during and for 3 days after cardiac surgery. Both rates of protamine administration resulted in clinically acceptable clotting, return of the activated coagulation time to normal, and zero heparin concentration after 24 hr. Two hours after protamine administration, patients who received rapidly administered protamine had prolonged coagulation compared to the other group. Normal AT III activity returned the second postoperative day. These results imply that normal postoperative coagulation occurs when protamine is administered over 30 min without a bolus, and that blood is potentially hypercoagulable immediately after heparin reversal because of depressed AT III activity.
