Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis is a rare, benign condition, usually self-limited to a six-month period. Classic clinical presentation is characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy, leukopenia and prolonged fever. It affects principally young, Asiatic adult women, although a few cases in the pediatric population have been reported. This disease frequently mimics tuberculous lymphadenitis, malign lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus and other benign and malignant conditions. The etiology is unknown, although a viral or autoimmune pathogenesis has been suggested. Laboratory investigations are usually unremarkable, and the most frequent findings are leukopenia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, anemia and positive antinuclear antibodies. To make an accurate diagnosis, histopathological studies are required. To avoid the use of antibiotics (which have no effect), early diagnosis is necessary. Herein the case of a 10 years old girl is described that presented with high, prolonged fever and marked cervical lymphadenopathy secondary to Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.
