Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sweet syndrome or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is characterized by abrupt onset of fever, leucocytosis, and tender erythematous nodules or plaques that respond to systemic corticosteroids. It occurs most commonly in middle aged women and is rare in children. We report a 2-year-old boy with Sweet syndrome who had fever, leukocytosis, neutrophilia and presented with erythematous maculopapules with tiny pustules over the whole body. Additionally he had an antecedent infection. Our evaluation and long term follow-up of this child failed to reveal evidence of an underlying malignancy or a chronic systemic illness.
