Sweet syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is an inflammatory disorder characterized by the abrupt onset of fever, erythematous papules, or plaques showing a neutrophilic infiltrate on histopathology and rapid response to treatment with systemic steroids. The disease may present with extracutaneous manifestations that may be life threatening.1 Although the pathogenesis is poorly understood, Sweet syndrome has been associated with drug exposure, malignancy, autoimmune diseases, infection, and pregnancy.2, 3, 4 Here we report a case of pregnancy-associated Sweet syndrome complicated by myopericarditis requiring surgical therapy for cardiac tamponade. |
