| Popis: | A 49-year-old patient with refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is described who developed fever and herpes-like skin lesions during treatment with G-CSF. Skin biopsies revealed dermal neutrophilic infiltrates compatible with the diagnosis of Sweet’s syndrome. The fever and skin lesions disappeared completely after treatment with corticosteroids. |
