“…1,4 Sweet syndrome-like lesions in lues have been described casuistically. 5 Typically, stage II presents with a non-pruritic, trunk-accentuated exanthema (macular or maculopapular syphilide), often involving the palms and soles. 2 Palmae and plantae were not affected in our patient.…”

A 54-year-old female patient presented to our emergency department with skin lesions on the entire integument that had been present for six weeks (Figure 1a-c). The patient stated that she had been suffering from fever and myalgia before the skin lesions appeared. At the time of presentation, there were no further clinical pathological findings. The patient denied pruritus and B symptoms. On further examination, elevated blood pressure and HbA1c levels were found.No pre-existing conditions were known. The use of medication was denied. No attempt at therapy was made due to the still mild disease burden.

Sweet syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is an inflammatory, non-infectious skin reaction characterized clinically by tender, erythematous papules/plaques/pustules/nodules commonly appearing on the upper limbs, trunk, and head and neck; histologically, SS is characterized by dense neutrophilic infiltrate in the dermis. SS is accompanied by fever; an elevation of inflammatory markers (e.g., erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein) in serum may also be observed. Although most cases of SS are idiopathic, SS also occurs in the setting of malignancy or following administration of an associated drug. SS has also been reported in association with pregnancy and a burgeoning list of infectious (most commonly upper respiratory tract infections) and inflammatory diseases; likewise, the litany of possible iatrogenic triggers has also grown. Over the past several years, a wider spectrum of SS presentation has been realized, with several reports highlighting novel clinical and histological variants. Corticosteroids continue to be efficacious first-line therapy for the majority of patients with SS, although novel steroid-sparing agents have been recently added to the therapeutic armamentarium against refractory SS. New mechanisms of SS induction have also been recognized, although the precise etiology of SS still remains elusive. Here, we catalogue the various clinical and histological presentations of SS, summarize recently reported disease associations and iatrogenic triggers, and review treatment options. We also attempt to frame the findings of this review in the context of established and emerging paradigms of SS pathogenesis.
