    Abstract:
    We report a case of Sjögren's syndrome whose clinical course had been indolent until the patient presented with Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis). This patient showed renal failure and renal tubular acidosis. Sweet's syndrome resolved within 3 weeks without corticosteroid therapy. Renal biopsy findings were consistent with interstitial nephritis. His renal manifestations responded to corticosteroid therapy and the renal function remained stable during 6 years follow-up without recurrence of Sweet's syndrome. Although close association of both syndromes is already known, in our case Sjögren's syndrome may have been exacerbated by occurrence of Sweet's syndrome.
