[Fatal Sweet syndrome associated to chronic idiopathic systemic inflammatory response syndrome].
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.
