Abstract
ACUTE FEBRILE neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet syndrome), first described by Sweet in 1964,1 is a disease characterized by painful, erythematous nodules and plaques of rapid onset accompanied by fever and neutrophilia. In many cases the disease follows a viral infection, especially of the upper respiratory tract, and it has also been reported in association with hematologic and visceral malignancies, medication (most commonly granulocyte colony-stimulating factor), autoimmune disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and pregnancy.Keywords
