“…However, ocular involvement may be more severe. Recently, cases of SS presenting with bilateral panuveitis [85,86], central retinal artery occlusion [87], hemorrhagic conjunctivitis [88], meibomitis [89], and retinal detachment have been described [86].…”

Sweet syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is an inflammatory, non-infectious skin reaction characterized clinically by tender, erythematous papules/plaques/pustules/nodules commonly appearing on the upper limbs, trunk, and head and neck; histologically, SS is characterized by dense neutrophilic infiltrate in the dermis. SS is accompanied by fever; an elevation of inflammatory markers (e.g., erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein) in serum may also be observed. Although most cases of SS are idiopathic, SS also occurs in the setting of malignancy or following administration of an associated drug. SS has also been reported in association with pregnancy and a burgeoning list of infectious (most commonly upper respiratory tract infections) and inflammatory diseases; likewise, the litany of possible iatrogenic triggers has also grown. Over the past several years, a wider spectrum of SS presentation has been realized, with several reports highlighting novel clinical and histological variants. Corticosteroids continue to be efficacious first-line therapy for the majority of patients with SS, although novel steroid-sparing agents have been recently added to the therapeutic armamentarium against refractory SS. New mechanisms of SS induction have also been recognized, although the precise etiology of SS still remains elusive. Here, we catalogue the various clinical and histological presentations of SS, summarize recently reported disease associations and iatrogenic triggers, and review treatment options. We also attempt to frame the findings of this review in the context of established and emerging paradigms of SS pathogenesis.

Introdução: A Síndrome de Sweet (SS), também conhecida como dermatose neutrofílica febril, é uma patologia inflamatória da pele com distribuição mundial, predominante no sexo feminino. Caracteriza-se por febre, neutrofilia e lesões cutâneas como pápulas, nódulos e placas eritematosas e dolorosas, além de um infiltrado neutrofílico típico na derme superior. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura sobre a etiopatogenia, critérios diagnósticos, classificação, avaliação complementar e terapia da síndrome de Sweet. Materiais, Sujeitos e Métodos: Foram consultados artigos científicos e de revisão publicados na Medline/PubMED e SciELO, entre 2007 e maio de 2023. Resultados: As opções de tratamento incluem corticoterapia sistêmica e corticosteróides tópicos de alta potência ou intra-lesionais. Alternativas terapêuticas como iodeto de potássio e colchicina também são mencionadas. Conclusões: Conhecer as manifestações clínicas típicas e atípicas, critérios diagnósticos e exames complementares é imprescindível para a investigação e sucesso do tratamento.
