Abstract:   (198 Views)
Sweet’s syndrome, also referred to as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, presents a constellation of clinical features including fever, tender erythematous skin lesions, peripheral neutrophilia, and predominant dermal infiltrate of neutrophils. This uncommon condition can manifest through drug-induced mechanisms, as a secondary condition to malignant diseases, or idiopathically. Importantly, extracutaneous manifestations, including cardiovascular involvement such as arteritis, acute myocarditis, or coronary artery disease, frequently contribute to the intricacy of the clinical presentation. Despite its significance, the literature on Sweet’s syndrome with cardiovascular implications remains sparse, leading to ambiguity in clinical management. In this context, we examine the requirement for a heightened index of suspicion to establish a diagnosis of Sweet’s syndrome with concurrent cardiovascular involvement, alongside considerations for treatment modalities and post-diagnostic monitoring strategies.
