Sweet's syndrome associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome
1Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Bristol Royal Infirmary, UK.
Abstract:
Septic shock is characterised by infection causing a systemic inflammatory response, end-organ failure and acute circulatory collapse. Treatment consists of antimicrobial therapy and the supportive management of multi-organ failure. We report a case of what we believed to be septic shock due to pyelonephritis in a patient whose condition continued to deteriorate despite conventional treatment until the diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome was made. Once she was started on high dose steroids, her condition improved and she made a full recovery. We believe this to be the first case of a severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome associated with Sweet's syndrome.
