Sweet’s Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease – uncommon association
Keywords:
Sweet’s syndrome, Crohn’s disease, neutrophilic dermatosis, Gomm-Button diseaseAbstract
Sweet’s Syndrome (SSw) is a neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by fever, neutrophilia and skin lesions with a diffuse,
neutrophilic and inflammatory infiltrate. Sweet’s pathogenesis
hasn’t been entirely defined. It can be idiopathic or associated
to other diseases (infectious, neoplastic, inflammatory) that’s
why this Syndrome should be primarily considered as a sign of
underlying disease. The association between Sweet’s Syndrome
and Inflammatory Bowel Disease is not common and the first
doesn’t seem to reflect the activity of the last, but to share the
same pathologic mechanism.
