This led to the name acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis.

Sweet syndrome (Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis)

Sweet's syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is a skin disease characterized by the sudden onset of fever, leukocytosis, and tender, erythematous, well-demarcated papules and plaques that show dense infiltrates by neutrophil granulocytes on histologic examination.

Sweet's syndrome is a known side effect of using this drug.

He died from complications of Sweet's syndrome, a skin disease.

Rarely, Sweet's syndrome, a paraneoplastic inflammation of the skin, can occur with AML.

Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis)

Note that leukemia cutis differs from Sweet's syndrome, in which the skin is infiltrated by mature neutrophils in a paraneoplastic process.

The diagnosis is based on the two constant features, a typical eruption and the characteristic histologic features; thus the eponym "Sweet's syndrome" is used.

Eruptions can occur frequently with a certain drug (for example, with phenytoin), or be very rare (for example, Sweet's syndrome following the administration of colony-stimulating factors).

Such reactions include Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Sweet's syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and painful and disfiguring rashes.

Other, rather rare, skin associated symptoms include pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet's syndrome, drug reactions, erythema nodosum, lobular panniculitis, atrophy of digital skin, palmar erythema, diffuse thinning (rice paper skin), and skin fragility (often worsened by corticosteroid use).

Mr. Wiener's doctors attributed the disease, Sweet's syndrome, to radiation Mr. Wiener had been exposed to when he photographed atomic-bomb tests near Las Vegas, Nev., after World War II for Life magazine, Mr. Dektar said.

This led to the name acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis.
