Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is characterized by fever, peripheral neutrophilia, and a nonvasculitic neutrophilic cutaneous eruption. It can occur at any age but most commonly from 30 to 60 years old. Lesions can occur anywhere, but most frequently on the upper extremities, neck, and face; they are typically tender, well-demarcated erythematous plaques with an edematous periphery (pseudovesiculation). Some progress to ulcerations and hemorrhagic crusting. Variants have been isolated to the face (erysipelas-like) and the dorsal hands. The plaques generally cause a burning pain and are nonpruritic. Sweet syndrome is associated with preceding upper respiratory infections, vaccinations, medications, malignancies, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune connective tissue diseases, and pregnancy.
