Activity Description

Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (AFND), also known as Sweet syndrome or Gomm-Button disease, manifests as erythematous plaques and papules, coupled with constitutional symptoms like fever and malaise. With an average onset age of 30 to 60 years and a female predominance, AFND displays a dense neutrophilic infiltrate histologically. Linked with various conditions, including infections, malignancies, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disorders, pregnancy, and drugs, its cutaneous lesions present as tender, edematous, erythematous plaques, and occasionally bullous. Prednisone stands as the primary treatment, although dapsone, colchicine, and potassium iodide present as potential alternatives. This activity offers insights into AFND evaluation and management strategies and emphasizes the interprofessional team's role in optimizing patient care.
