Kikuchi's disease is a rare, non-cancerous enlargement of the lymph nodes, the diagnosis can be confirmed by lymph node biopsy. It was originally described in Japan by Dr M. Kikuchi in 1972.

The symptoms of Kikuchi's are the following: Drenching night sweats, Fever, Bone-joint pain, Loss of appetite, Unexplained weight loss, General weakness, Fatigue, and Mental unfocus. The cause for this disease has not been established, and there is also no cure. Kikuchi's patients are able to treat some symptoms and wait weeks to months before the symptoms of Kikuchi's has been suppressed. In most reported cases, it is common for the debilitating symptoms to last for half a year; however, the disease does return to some patients after time.
