Background: Sweet syndrome or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is a recurrent and rare skin disease caused by the release of cytokines, with diverse possible etiologic causes mainly being associated with infections, malignancy and drugs, with a reported incidence of 0.08 pediatric cases Historically, the Von den Driesch diagnostic criteria has been used to diagnose sweet syndrome. Case Presentation: We report a 6 month-old African female infant who presented with features of sweet syndrome. This case illustrates the typical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment outcome of this highly misdiagnosed condition. Conclusion: Due to the limited resources and knowledge about this under-reported disease in resource –constrained settings, the characteristic manifestation of sweet syndrome can be easily missed and thus requires a high index of suspicion for earlier diagnosis and management.
