“… 1 Among AICTDs, Sweet syndrome has been described in association with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 9), 11 , 48 – 51 Sjögren syndrome (n = 9), 52 – 57 including a case of coexisting Sjögren syndrome and Crohn disease, 57 DM (n = 1), 12 undifferentiated AICTD (n = 1), 58 and mixed AICTD (n = 1). 59 The association of Sweet syndrome with SLE is most commonly reported; it has been reported in 28 cases, including 6 drug-induced cases (hydralazine, n = 4 60 – 63 ; acyclovir, n = 2 64 , 65 ) and 22 cases that often occurred simultaneously with the onset of LE. 10 , 21 , 51 , 58 , 66 – 78 The skin lesion features may not accurately meet the Sweet syndrome diagnostic criteria; in these cases, a diagnosis of Sweet-like ND has been proposed in the literature (see below).…”

The pathophysiology of neutrophilic dermatoses (NDs) and autoimmune connective tissue diseases (AICTDs) is incompletely understood. The association between NDs and AICTDs is rare; recently, however, a distinctive subset of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE, the prototypical AICTD) with neutrophilic histological features has been proposed to be included in the spectrum of lupus. The aim of our study was to test the validity of such a classification. We conducted a monocentric retrospective study of 7028 AICTDs patients. Among these 7028 patients, a skin biopsy was performed in 932 cases with mainly neutrophilic infiltrate on histology in 9 cases. Combining our 9 cases and an exhaustive literature review, pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet syndrome (n = 49), Sweet-like ND (n = 13), neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (n = 6), palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis (n = 12), and histiocytoid neutrophilic dermatitis (n = 2) were likely to occur both in AICTDs and autoinflammatory diseases. Other NDs were specifically encountered in AICTDs: bullous LE (n = 71), amicrobial pustulosis of the folds (n = 28), autoimmunity-related ND (n = 24), ND resembling erythema gyratum repens (n = 1), and neutrophilic annular erythema (n = 1). The improvement of AICTDS neutrophilic lesions under neutrophil targeting therapy suggests possible common physiopathological pathways between NDs and AICTDs.

“…SS has also been reported in single cases of drug-induced LE, neonatal LE, and subacute cutaneous LE. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] There are various inflammatory conditions in the setting of LE accompanied by prominent tissue neutrophilia, including: bullous lupus, neonatal lupus, urticarial vasculitis, urticaria, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, palisading granulomas, amicrobial pustulosis, and neutrophilic dermatosis. 2,4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] We report 7 patients with a distinct and unusual eruption consisting of a Sweet-like neutrophilic dermatosis (SLND), in conjunction with previous or concomitant LE, and discuss the relevance of these findings.…”

“…Three of them were positive for anti-histone antibodies, and resolved by discontinuation of hydralazine with or without the use of prednisolone. Gollol-Raju et al 9 reported a case of SLE and Sweet's syndrome after the use of acyclovir for suspected Herpes simplex infection. Choi et al 10 reported a similar case caused by acyclovir for herpes zoster infection.…”

A 35-year-old Japanese female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with fever, erythematous papules and nodules, and polyarthralgia. Skin biopsy of a nodule was compatible with Sweet's syndrome. The papules/nodules were well treated with an oral glucocorticoid. Thirty cases of Sweet's syndrome associated with lupus erythematosus (LE) have been reported in the published work. The mean age was 34.2 years. They showed a higher male ratio (male : female, 1:2) compared with patients with SLE (1:9) and Sweet's syndrome (1:3.7). Sweet's syndrome may occur as a manifestation of LE, and a moderate dose of an oral glucocorticoid will result in a good response.
