Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sweet’s syndrome is an uncommon reactive dermatoses characterized by fever, polymorphonuclear leukocytosis, painful er-ythematous plaques, and dense dermal infiltrate of neutrophils. Sweet’s syndrome can be associated with several diseases, in-cluding infectious diseases, malignant tumors, and autoimmune diseases. However, no case of Sweet’s syndrome associated with Sjogren’s syndrome (SjS) has been reported in Korea. A 44-year-old woman presented with acute pustular rashes and fever. The patient had multiple papulopustular skin rashes, and complained of fever, chills, and headache. Our patient had the charac-teristic clinical and histopathological features of Sweet’s syndrome, in association with SjS, diagnosed by salivary gland scan, positive anti-SS-A/SS-B antibody, and sicca symptoms simultaneously. Thus, we report on a case of a patient with Sweet’s syn-drome with concomitant diagnosis of SjS.
