AI Article Synopsis

  • - Sweet's Syndrome (SS) is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by the presence of neutrophils and is a type of neutrophilic dermatosis.
  • - There are fewer than 50 documented cases of respiratory complications related to SS, but this article discusses a unique case involving lung transplantation (LT).
  • - The study highlights the clinical journey of the first patient who underwent LT for pulmonary SS and suggests that the lung disease may recur in the transplanted organ.

Article Abstract

Sweet's Syndrome (SS), also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is one of several cutaneous inflammatory disorders classified as neutrophilic dermatoses. Respiratory complications are described in <50 cases in the literature, without prior report of lung transplantation (LT). This article explains the clinical course of the first patient to receive LT for pulmonary SS and presents evidence suggesting recurrence of the primary lung disease in the allograft.

It is characterised by the sudden onset of well-defined tender papules, plaques and nodules often accompanied by fever, neutrophilia and elevated markers of inflammation. Several variants have been described both clinically and histopathologically.

Background: Modest weight and lipid changes have been observed in cabotegravir plus rilpivirine long-acting (CAB+RPV LA) Phase 3/3b studies. The SOLAR study included standardized evaluations of weight and metabolic changes in people living with HIV switching to CAB+RPV LA dosed every 2 months (Q2M) vs. continuing bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir (BIC/FTC/TAF).

Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare inflammatory skin condition associated with the sudden onset of high-grade fever, painful rashes usually on the upper body, leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Approximately 21% of patients with Sweet syndrome have a concurrent malignancy, 80% of which are linked to haematological diseases, especially myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukaemia. This is a case report of a woman in her 50s who was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and was started on decitabine 20 mg/m (40 mg).
