Objective: To investigate the impact of HIV infection on clinical features in tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Those findings led to a diagnosis of hilar tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto lymphadenitis is a distinctive entity which is easily recognised in its classical histology.

We initially diagnosed her with lymphadenitis based on the symptoms and the imaging studies.

Conclusion: Co-infection with HIV influences several clinical and laboratory features in patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis.
