Abstract

The article reports a case of sweet syndrome or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatoses in a 54-year-old man. A probable etiology of pulmonary infiltrates was sweet syndrome with lung involvement or neutrophilic alveolitis. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroids and experienced a fast resolution of the rash and pulmonary infiltrates. The patient also underwent a bone marrow biopsy, and the findings were consistent with a myelodysplastic syndrome.
