Abstract
Physicians often encounter patients who present with a chief complaint of skin changes or lesions in both acute and primary care settings. Early initiation of appropriate treatment and pharmacotherapy in patients who present with rash is crucial to prevent decompensation, morbidity, and further downstream utilization of hospital resources. Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, more commonly known as Sweet syndrome, is a rare and highly symptomatic inflammatory skin condition. Early recognition of Sweet syndrome is important as it requires specific treatment considerations and often can be a sign of an underlying pro-inflammatory condition, malignancy, or reaction to new medication that must be identified. This article discusses the presentation and management of a 50-year-old male who presented with a classic presentation of Sweet syndrome.
