Abstract

Sweet's syndrome is an uncommon reactive dermatosis characterized by fever, polymorphonuclear leukocytosis, painful erythematous cutaneous plaques and dense dermal infiltrate of neutrophils at the skin lesions. Unlike Sweet's syndrome associated with patients with malignancies, autoimmune diseases, antecedent infectons-most commonly the upper respiratory infections, it is reported to be rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we report a rare case of young female with Sweet's syndrome and SLE presenting with high fever.

Keywords Sweet's syndrome, Systemic lupus erythematosus
