Abstract

Pediatric Sweet syndrome is a rare dermatosis often triggered by a prodromal illness or infection and characterized histologically by a dense neutrophilic infiltrate. We report a 2-year-old girl with a classic presentation of Sweet syndrome following an acute thumb paronychia, who had a negative history of malignancy or immunodeficiency.

Keywords: acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis; neutrophilic dermatoses; pathergy.
