Sweet's syndrome is considered a variable manifestation of hypersensitivity to several antigens. Many etiological factors, including drugs, infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic and miscellaneous disorders, have been reported to be associated with this syndrome. We report the case of a patient who subsequently developed inflammatory dermatophytosis and Sweet's syndrome; an association not previously described.
