The authors describe three cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with Kikuchi's histiocitic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL). Two patients presented a cytomegalovirus infection concomitantly with Kikuchi's lymphadenitis; in one of them the onsets of SLE and HNL were simultaneous. In the third case an inguinal HNL was concomitant with vaginitis of unknown aetiology.
