Summary
Sweet syndrome, or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a painful inflammatory condition. This report details the first pediatric case linked to Mycoplasma infection, a previously undescribed trigger.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Pediatrics
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Sweet syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by fever and painful skin lesions.
- While infections are known triggers, Sweet syndrome following Mycoplasma infection has not been previously documented.
- The pediatric population rarely presents with Sweet syndrome.

521
The phylum Tenericutes, which includes the single class Mollicutes, comprises bacteria that lack cell walls. The term "Mollicutes" derives from the Latin word mollis, meaning "soft." These organisms are among the smallest known and are commonly referred to as mycoplasmas due to the prominence of the genus Mycoplasma, which includes well-known human pathogens. Despite their inability to stain gram-positively (a result of their lack of cell walls), mycoplasmas are phylogenetically related to the...

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.
