Abstract
A rapid rise in serum hemagglutination antibody (HA) titers for toxoplasma was detected about 2 months after the onset of cervical lymphadenopathy in two patients with necrotizing lymphadenitis. These lymph nodes proliferation of histiocytes with nuclear debris, phagocytized macrophages and necrotic areas, and the association suggested that necrotizing lymphadenitis might be caused by acute toxoplasmic infection.
