Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Induced Sweet’s Syndrome Following Autologous Transplantation in a Child with Relapsed Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia

Abstract

Sweet’s syndrome is characterized by the triad of fever, erythematous skin lesions and neutrophilia. The etiologic factors are quite variable, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) use is an extremely rare cause in children with Sweet’s syndrome. We report a G-CSF induced Sweet’s syndrome following autologous transplantation in a child with relapsed acute myeloblastic leukemia.
