Drug-induced Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) associated with hydralazine.
We report a case of Sweet's syndrome associated with hydralazine. The association of Sweet's syndrome with hydralazine, and with the oral contraceptive, minocycline, and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole, has been reported previously. We suggest that a drug aetiology should be sought in cases of Sweet's syndrome.
