Unusual Hemodynamic Presentation of Pediatric Kikuchi‐Fujimoto Disease: Persistent Sinus Bradycardia and Vasopressor‐Dependent Hypotension
ABSTRACT Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease rarely presents with vasopressor‐dependent hypotension requiring pediatric intensive care despite preserved cardiac function. This case highlights the importance of early excisional lymph node biopsy for timely diagnosis and appropriate management of children with unexplained hemodynamic instability and necrotizing cervical lymphadenopathy.
