Negative Correlation Between Serum Ferritin and CD4+ Lymphocytes: A Retrospective Study on Kikuchi‐Fujimoto Disease
Patients with KFD demonstrated immunosuppression characterized by decreased counts of circulating CD3+ and CD4+ lymphocytes, as well as NK cells. Moreover, serum ferritin levels were inversely correlated with CD4+ lymphocyte counts, suggesting a potential role of ferritin in immune dysregulation in KFD.
