Sweet's syndrome and subacute thyroiditis. (1/63)
A 63 year old woman developed biopsy documented lesions of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet's syndrome) one week after the onset of subacute thyroiditis. This is only the second reported case of such an association. The role of cytokines in the development of both subacute thyroiditis and Sweet's syndrome may be the link between these two conditions.

A case of Sweet's syndrome in association with Crohn's disease in a young woman is reported. Sweet's syndrome is a rare extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. (+info)Sweet's syndrome during the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia with all-trans retinoic acid. (3/63)
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is the standard induction treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Quite many ATRA-related side effects, including retinoic acid syndrome, were reported. So far, it has rarely been reported that Sweet's syndrome, characterized by fever, neutrophilia, painful erythematous cutaneous plaques, dense dermal infiltrates of mature neutrophils and rapid response to steroid therapy, is associated with ATRA. In the case that Sweet's syndrome associated with ATRA is found, physicians will have to face a great challenge over the possibility of infectious conditions. We present here a case of Sweet's syndrome associated with ATRA. A 35-year-old female with APL developed fever, painful erythematous cutaneous plaques on both cheeks, right wrist and both shins during induction chemotherapy with ATRA. A skin biopsy revealed a dense dermal infiltrate, consisting of mature neutrophils without vasculitis or cutaneous immunoglobulin deposits, which is compatible with Sweet's syndrome. Oral prednisone was administered and the lesions started to improve within 48 hours. (+info)Sarcoidosis with multiple organ involvement emerging as Lofgren's syndrome. (4/63)
A 52-year-old woman was admitted because of high-grade remittent fever, erythema nodosum, and arthritis which had been lasting two months. Antibiotics did not improve her condition. A chest CT scan examination revealed bilateral hilar and mediastinal adenopathy and multiple nodular opacities in the bilateral lungs. The wedge biopsy of the right lower lobe using video-assisted thoracoscopy presented the histological findings of sarcoidosis. Finally, this case fulfilled the criteria of Lofgren's syndrome. Due to the uncovered cardiac involvement, the systemic glucocorticoid therapy had to be initiated. This case suggests that atypical forms of sarcoidosis should be kept in mind as well, when facing cases with unknown fever. (+info)Neutrophilic alveolitis in Sweet's syndrome. (5/63)
In a case of Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) neutrophilic alveolitis was found by lung biopsy. Pulmonary disease in this condition may be underrecognised yet, like the dermatological features, it responds rapidly to corticosteroids. (+info)Sweet syndrome. (6/63)
Sweet syndrome is characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and tender, erythematous, well-demarcated papules and plaques, which show dense neutrophilic infiltrates and papillary dermal edema. It may occur in the absence of other diseases but is often associated with malignant conditions and may be induced by various medications. Treatment with systemic glucocorticoids generally is successful but may require prolonged courses to suppress recurrences. (+info)Quinupristin/dalfopristin-induced Sweet's syndrome. (7/63)
Quinupristin/Dalfopristin is a new combination of streptogramin antibiotics designed specifically to treat clinically significant infections due to Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus Faecium. Sweet's syndrome is characterized by painful skin plaques, which is associated with dermal neutrophilic infiltration, fever and peripheral blood leukocytosis. Drug-induced Sweet's syndrome has a temporal relationship between drug ingestion, clinical presentation and the temporally-related resolution of lesions following drug withdrawal or on treatment with systemic corticosteroids. A 63-year-old woman received Quinupristin/Dalfopristin for acute pyelonephritis developed fever, arthralgia, vomiting, and painful erythematous skin plaques. A skin biopsy showed neutrophilic dermatosis, and there was rapid resolution of the symptoms and cutaneous lesions after discontinuation of Quinupristin/Dalfopristin, consistent with drug-induced Sweet's syndrome. To date, there has been no reported case of Sweet's syndrome associated with the use of Quinupristin/Dalfopristin. (+info)Sweet's syndrome associated with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis. (8/63)
A 34-year-old man with Sweet's syndrome associated with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis is reported. Histological examination of an erythematous, painful, cutaneous plaque revealed a dermal interstitial neutrophilic infiltrate. A biopsy specimen obtained from an inguinal lymph node showed granulomatous formation, consisting of histiocytes, with central necrosis in the paracortex and macrophages in the sinus. Although the causes of the two diseases remain obscure, this appears to be the first report of Sweet's syndrome associated with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis. (+info)Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a skin condition characterized by the rapid onset of painful, red, and swollen skin lesions. The lesions are often accompanied by fever and elevated white blood cell count, particularly an increase in neutrophils.
The medical definition of Sweet syndrome includes the following criteria:
1. Abrupt onset of painful, erythematous (red), and edematous (swollen) papules, plaques, or nodules.
2. Fever greater than 38°C (100.4°F).
3. Leukocytosis with a predominance of neutrophils in the peripheral blood.
4. Histopathological evidence of a dense dermal infiltrate of neutrophils without evidence of vasculitis.
5. Rapid response to systemic corticosteroids.
Sweet syndrome can be associated with various medical conditions, such as infections, malignancies, and inflammatory diseases, or it can occur without an identifiable underlying cause (idiopathic).
Relapsing polychondritis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and damage to the cartilaginous structures in the body. The condition can affect multiple organs and tissues, including the ears, nose, trachea, bronchi, joints, and cardiovascular system. It is called "relapsing" because it tends to involve recurring episodes of inflammation and damage, followed by periods of remission.
The hallmark symptom of relapsing polychondritis is pain and swelling in the ears, nose, or airways. Other symptoms may include:
* Redness, tenderness, and warmth in affected areas
* Hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
* Nasal congestion, runny nose, or nosebleeds
* Hoarseness or difficulty speaking
* Wheezing, shortness of breath, or coughing
* Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
* Skin rashes or sores
* Eye inflammation or dryness
* Heart murmurs or other cardiovascular symptoms
The exact cause of relapsing polychondritis is not known, but it is thought to involve an abnormal immune response in which the body's own antibodies attack and damage cartilage and other tissues. The diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis is typically based on a combination of clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging studies.
There is no cure for relapsing polychondritis, but treatment can help manage the symptoms and prevent complications. Treatment may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and other medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace damaged tissues.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, inflammatory skin condition that typically begins as a small pustule or blister, which then rapidly progresses to form painful ulcers with a characteristic violaceous (bluish-purple) undermined border. The etiology of pyoderma gangrenosum is not entirely clear, but it's often associated with an underlying systemic disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or hematologic disorders.
The pathophysiology of pyoderma gangrenosum involves a dysregulated immune response and neutrophil-mediated tissue damage. Diagnosis is often based on the clinical presentation and exclusion of other conditions with similar lesions. Treatment typically includes systemic immunosuppressive therapy, such as corticosteroids, cyclosporine, or biologic agents, along with local wound care to promote healing and prevent infection.
It's important to note that pyoderma gangrenosum can be a challenging condition to manage, and a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologists, internists, and surgeons may be necessary for optimal care.
A syndrome, in medical terms, is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, disorder, or underlying pathological process. It's essentially a collection of signs and/or symptoms that frequently occur together and can suggest a particular cause or condition, even though the exact physiological mechanisms might not be fully understood.
For example, Down syndrome is characterized by specific physical features, cognitive delays, and other developmental issues resulting from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Similarly, metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus type 2 involve a group of risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
It's important to note that a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis; rather, it's a pattern of symptoms that can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and management.
Paraneoplastic syndromes refer to a group of rare disorders that are caused by an abnormal immune system response to a cancerous (malignant) tumor. These syndromes are characterized by symptoms or signs that do not result directly from the growth of the tumor itself, but rather from substances produced by the tumor or the body's immune system in response to the tumor.
Paraneoplastic syndromes can affect various organs and systems in the body, including the nervous system, endocrine system, skin, and joints. Examples of paraneoplastic syndromes include Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), which affects nerve function and causes muscle weakness; cerebellar degeneration, which can cause difficulty with coordination and balance; and dermatomyositis, which is an inflammatory condition that affects the skin and muscles.
Paraneoplastic syndromes can occur in association with a variety of different types of cancer, including lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and lymphoma. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cancer, as well as managing the symptoms of the paraneoplastic syndrome.
Etretinate is a oral retinoid medication that is primarily used in the treatment of severe forms of acne, such as recalcitrant cystic acne or nodular acne. It works by decreasing the production of sebum (oil) and promoting the shedding of skin cells, which helps to prevent the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and reduce inflammation in the skin.
Etretinate is a derivative of vitamin A and is known for its long-term persistence in the body, with a half-life of approximately 120 days. This means that it can take several months for the drug to be completely eliminated from the body after stopping treatment. As a result, etretinate is usually considered a second-line treatment option for acne and is typically reserved for cases that have not responded to other therapies.
It's important to note that etretinate is a teratogenic medication, which means that it can cause birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Therefore, it should not be used by women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and effective contraception must be used during treatment and for several months after stopping the drug.
Other potential side effects of etretinate include dry skin, dry mouth, nosebleeds, hair loss, muscle aches, and elevated liver enzymes. It may also increase the risk of bone fractures and can interact with other medications, such as tetracyclines, that can increase the risk of intracranial hypertension.
Refractory anemia is a type of anemia that does not respond to typical treatments, such as iron supplements or hormonal therapy. It is often associated with various bone marrow disorders, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of conditions characterized by abnormal blood cell production in the bone marrow.
In refractory anemia, the bone marrow fails to produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and pale skin. The condition can be difficult to treat, and treatment options may include more aggressive therapies such as immunosuppressive drugs, chemotherapy, or stem cell transplantation.
It is important to note that the term "refractory" in this context refers specifically to the lack of response to initial treatments, rather than a specific severity or type of anemia.
Skin diseases, also known as dermatological conditions, refer to any medical condition that affects the skin, which is the largest organ of the human body. These diseases can affect the skin's function, appearance, or overall health. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, infections, allergies, environmental factors, and aging.
Skin diseases can present in many different forms, such as rashes, blisters, sores, discolorations, growths, or changes in texture. Some common examples of skin diseases include acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, viral infections, bacterial infections, and skin cancer.
The symptoms and severity of skin diseases can vary widely depending on the specific condition and individual factors. Some skin diseases are mild and can be treated with over-the-counter medications or topical creams, while others may require more intensive treatments such as prescription medications, light therapy, or even surgery.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or persistent changes in your skin, as some skin diseases can be serious or indicative of other underlying health conditions. A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases.
