Abstract
Two children with necrotizing lymphadenitis were reported. Both patients, a 16-year-old. female (case 1) and a 15-year-old male (case 2), were admitted to the hospital because of fever and lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of necrotizing lymphadenitis was established on the basis of the pathological finding of a lymph node. In the first case, hemophagocytosis was found in the bone marrow. The culture study of CFU-C revealed a decreased number of colony; leukopenia in peripheral blood was observed. The relationship between necrotizing lymphadenitis and other disorders with hemophagocytosis was discussed.
