Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet’s syndrome) was diagnosed on the basis of typical clinical and histological features in a 45-year-old woman. Gastrointestinal symptoms had preceded the dermatosis, and an intestinal infection with Yersinia enterocolitica could be proven by culture and serology. This first report on an association between Yersinia infection and Sweet’s syndrome widens the spectrum of both infectious diseases possibly inducing acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis and dermatological manifestations of yersiniosis.

A 41-year-old woman presented with the typical clinical and pathohistological features of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (AFND). The disease had been preceded by diarrhoea and vomiting for 2 weeks. Stool cultures proved positive for Salmonella typhimurium infection. Antibiotic therapy and tapering oral steroids led to a complete remission of skin lesions within 2 weeks. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Sweet's syndrome associated with salmonellosis.
