7 Sweet Syndrome

چکیده
Sweet syndrome (SS) was first described by Robert Sweet in 1964 as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet, 1966). Despite of the descriptive value of this denomination and the advice of Robert Sweet to keep it, the eponymous became prevalent on the time. SS was the first neutrofilic dermatosis (ND) described and it represents the paradigm of them. There are three key points of SS that are of interest not only for the dermatologists but also for the general practitioners: a) its marked clinical manifestations, b) the potential systemic repercussion of neutrophilic reaction, and c) its association with extracutaneos diseases, especially with malignancies.
