Conclusion:
KD is a rare condition, and it should be considered in differential
diagnoses of tender lymphadenopathy, especially lymphadenopathy
localized to the cervical region and recurrent fever with AIH. Although
the disease takes a self-limiting clinical course in most cases, we
reported a case of KD with a prolonged relapse of ten years. Our case
emphasizes the association of KD with autoimmune conditions other than
SLE. Full recovery with a good response to corticosteroid regimen was
achieved after the recurrence; therefore, considering the recurrence of
KD, long-term follow-up of patients with KD should be implemented.
