Sweet syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) may arise in association with a variety of underlying systemic diseases. Only 1 case of coccidioidomycosis-associated Sweet syndrome has previously been reported.
We describe 2 patients who developed Sweet syndrome during the onset of acute pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. Systemic antifungal therapy was given in both cases. Respiratory symptoms and skin lesions resolved within 5 weeks.
Sweet syndrome may be a presenting feature of coccidioidomycosis. Recognition of the underlying pulmonary infection is important so that inappropriate treatment with systemic corticosteroids can be avoided.
Sweet综合征(急性发热性嗜中性皮病)可能与多种潜在的全身性疾病相关。此前仅报告过1例与球孢子菌病相关的Sweet综合征。
我们描述了2例在急性肺球孢子菌病发病期间出现Sweet综合征的患者。两例均给予了全身抗真菌治疗。呼吸症状和皮肤病变在5周内消退。
Sweet综合征可能是球孢子菌病的一个表现特征。认识到潜在的肺部感染很重要,这样可以避免不恰当地使用全身性皮质类固醇进行治疗。
