Abstract

Sweet syndrome is one of the cutaneous processes more frequently associated to systemic diseases. Its association to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome has rarely been described. We report a case of chronic and relapsing Sweet syndrome associated to a chronic and idiopathic systemic inflammatory response syndrome that lasted seven years and proved fatal to the patient. Among the rare cases of Sweet syndrome associated to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that have been described there have not been any fatal cases as occurred with our patient.

Key words:
Sweet syndrome
systemic inflammatory response syndrome

Presentamos un caso de síndrome de Sweet de evolución crónica y recidivante asociado a un síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica crónico idiopático de 7 años de evolución que llevaron a la muerte del paciente. De los raros casos descritos de síndrome de Sweet asociado a síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica, no hay ninguno descrito que haya llevado a la muerte del paciente como en nuestro caso.
