Autoimmune clustering: sweet syndrome, Hashimoto thyroiditis, and psoriasis.

Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (AFND; Sweet syndrome) is characterized by a constellation of symptoms and findings: fever, neutrophilia, and tender erythematous skin lesions that typically show an upper dermal infiltrate of mature neutrophils. Whereas some cases are idiopathic, others have been associated with a variety of disorders. In this report, we describe the occurrence of AFND with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto thyroiditis) and preexisting psoriasis.
