  • Title: [Lesions evoking Sweet's syndrome in acute leukemia: occurring during the stage of therapeutic aplasia].
    Author: Milpied N, Harousseau JL, Castaigne S, Bureau B, Reynaud C, Rodat O.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1983; 134(1):38-41. PubMed ID: 6574722.
    Abstract:
    Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, so called Sweet's Syndrome is a distinct dermatological disease defined by constant clinical and histological features: Eruption of painful, tender, raised erythematous plaques of face and neck with fever. Dense dermal infiltration with mature neutrophil polymorphs. Sweet's Syndrome may occur during the course of chronic or acute haematological diseases such as chronic myelogenous leukemia or acute non lymphoblastic leukemia. In all cases, the counts of Neutrophil Polymorphs were normal or above normal limits. We report a case of Sweet's Syndrome occurring during the aplastic period induced by the treatment of an acute myelo monocytic leukemia, and discuss the responsibility of white blood cells transfusion in genesis of typical histological aspect.
