“…This criterion was fulfilled in the present study, in the original eight cases published by Dr. Sweet, and in many other studies including the most recent article by Casarin Costa et al. who reported the absence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis in their cohort of 83 patients. On the other hand, other authors have reported leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a variable number of patients, including Rochael et al.…”

Summary The diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome (SS) is based on a set of criteria that requires the presence of two major and at least two minor criteria. In some cases, however, the diagnosis is not as straightforward due to the absence of certain criteria. The objective of the present study was to review the clinical, histopathological, and laboratory features of the current diagnostic criteria for SS, and to evaluate their validity in the cases reported in the literature as well as in 40 patients treated at our institution. Our comprehensive review of the current criteria for SS reveals that the two major criteria have been consistently present in all cases – including ours – since the first description of SS in 1964. With regard to the minor criteria, on the other hand, there has been marked variability between different studies, and many cases failed to fulfill the requirement of showing two minor criteria. In order to simplify the diagnosis, avoid misdiagnosis, and allow for prompt treatment, we propose two sets of revised diagnostic criteria for SS. The first set comprises constant clinical and histopathological features that must be present and are by themselves sufficient for the diagnosis of SS to be established. The second set includes variable features whose absence does not warrant ruling out SS.

“…In this study, we observed that Sweet syndrome was more frequent in the women, and the mean age at diagnosis was 53 years, consistent with the data described in the literature (10)(11)(12)(13). Our results failed to show significant differences in age and sex in the patients of Sweet syndrome with and without hematologic malignancy.…”

“…In our cohort, fever was notably more common than other clinical symptoms (24/37, 65%), with a higher incidence than that in some studies (11)(12)(13), emphasizing that fever exists as an important diagnostic criterion of Sweet syndrome (3,4). Our study obtained a positive association with arthralgia in only 5% of the patients, none of whom had Sweet syndrome with hematologic malignancy.…”

“…Dieses Kriterium war bei der vorliegenden Studie, bei den ursprünglichen acht von Dr. Sweet veröffentlichten Fällen und bei vielen anderen Studien erfüllt, einschließlich des neuesten Artikels von Casarin‐Costa et al. , die bei ihrer Kohorte von 83 Patienten keine leukozytoklastische Vaskulitis feststellen konnten. Andererseits haben andere Autoren eine leukozytoklastische Vaskulitis bei einer unterschiedlichen Anzahl von Patienten beschrieben, unter anderem Rochael et al.…”
