Abstract

We report a 33-year-old female who presented to our hospital in 2001 with tender erythemas on the face and extremities, which involved pustules and vesicles. She then developed a sore throat and high fever. Results of blood tests showed polymorphonuclear leukocytosis and elevated CRP and ESR. Histopathological findings were consistent with Sweet's syndrome based on diffuse infiltration of predominant neutrophils with nuclear dust. Administration of oral predonisolon immediately reduced all of her symptoms. In 1998, she had been diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome. She has had recurrent acute attacks similar to that described here for 7 years since the first diagnosis. We reviewed reported cases of Sweet's syndrome associated with Sjögren's syndrome.
