Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis was first described by Robert Douglas Sweet in 1964 (hence the eponym Sweet syndrome). This condition is a reactive process characterized by the abrupt onset of tender, red-to-purple papules and nodules that coalesce to form plaques. These plaques usually occur on the upper extremities, face, or neck and are typically accompanied by fever and peripheral neutrophilia. 4, record 1, English, - Sweet%27s%20syndrome
