Abstract

Sweet Syndrome (SS) is an uncommon inflammatory disorder. It is accompanied by fever, leukocytosis, and abrupt appearance of cutaneous eruptions, which can be nodules, papules or plaques. We report a case of a 35-year-old Hispanic female who presented with atypical chest pain, erythematous skin lesions, elevated ESR, Ds-DNA and fever. The patient had a systemic lupus erythematosus flare with accompanying sweet syndrome, which is a very rare occurrence. Our article gives awareness to the clinicians of this rare concurrence and its knowledge will help with prompt treatment and management.
