Abstract

Sweet's syndrome (or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is a rare inflammatory disease that is characterized by fever, neutrophilia, and painful erythematous plaques that histologically show a dense dermal infiltrate of neutrophils without associated vasculitis. We describe 2 neonates (10 and 15 days of age) with Sweet's syndrome; to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of siblings with Sweet's syndrome.
