Sweet's syndrome (acute neutrophilic dermatosis) is characterized by fever; polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytosis; elevated ESR; and characteristic, raised, painful red plaques on the face and limbs. Since Sweet first described the syndrome in 1964, more than 150 cases have been reported, but it is assumed that the disorder is far more common than this number would indicate.
