Sweet's syndrome is a dermal neutrophilic inflammatory dermatosis characterized by unrestricted neutrophil production with consequent infiltration of the skin and in some cases other organs. We report a 4 month old baby boy with multiple well-defined skin coloured to erythematous, edematous papules and plaques studded with sterile pustules along the periphery involving the entire body since 1 week with sparing of palms, soles and mucosae. Thick crusts were seen involving the entire scalp. Laboratory investigations and histopathology were suggestive of neutrophilic dermatoses (Sweet's syndrome).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
