Sweet Syndrome in the Pediatric Population

Danielle McClanahan et al. Dermatol Clin. 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Pediatric Sweet syndrome (SS) is thought to be a hypersensitivity reaction to an underlying inflammatory or infectious state and typically is diagnosed using criteria created for adult patients. Although more studies are needed to understand the etiology and natural course of pediatric SS, guidelines for work-up and treatment have been suggested. Herein, the available literature is reviewed and guidelines summarized for the clinical evaluation and management of pediatric SS.

Keywords: Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis; Pediatric; Sweet syndrome.
