Sweet's syndrome, a rare pediatric condition, can manifest in infants. Early corticosteroid treatment shows promise for managing this inflammatory disorder.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Dermatology
Hematology
Immunology

Background:

Sweet's syndrome, first described in 1964, is predominantly diagnosed in adults.
Its occurrence in pediatric populations, particularly infants, is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

A 23-month-old boy presented with characteristic skin lesions including papular, edematous annular plaques with surrounding vesicles and bullae.
Initial laboratory findings revealed neutrophilic hyperleukocytosis, anemia, and an inflammatory syndrome.

Findings:

The patient showed a significant clinical response to oral corticosteroids at a dosage of 2 mg/kg/d.
Despite initial improvement, the infant later developed cervical adenopathies and hepatomegaly, with subsequent myelograms remaining normal.

Implications:

This case highlights the rarity of Sweet's syndrome in infants and the importance of considering hematologic malignancies.
Systemic corticosteroid therapy is established as the primary treatment modality for Sweet's syndrome.
