<i>Nocardia farcinica</i> as a Potential Pathogen Associated With a Clinical Subtype of Kikuchi–Fujimoto Disease
This study demonstrated a potential association between N. farcinica and KFD, suggesting a clinical subtype characterized by older age, shorter onset-to-presentation interval, and significant leukopenia. These findings offer novel etiological insights and suggest potential targeted therapeutic approaches, warranting validation through larger prospective studies.
