Fluoroquinolone-Induced Sweet Syndrome: A Case Report

Sweet syndrome (SS) is a rare non-vasculitic neutrophilic dermatosis. Fever, the abrupt emergence of tender erythematous plaques and nodules, with an occasional presentation of vesicles and pustules along with dense neutrophilic infiltrates on skin biopsy are the hallmarks of the illness. Tender plaques or nodules develop along with other systemic manifestations suddenly in affected people which is considered to occur due to immune-mediated hypersensitivity. We report a case of Sweet syndrome in Pakistan presenting in a 55-year-old female. It is worth reporting due to the rarity of such cases in this region. The patient was diagnosed after profound investigations and was treated with corticosteroid therapy.
