Abstract

A 7-week-old infant with antecedent otitis media, upper respiratory infection, and aseptic meningitis was diagnosed as having Sweet syndrome. Although this disease usually affects adults, it has been reported in 17 children. This is the youngest reported patient with the disorder to date, and the first in whom the syndrome was associated with aseptic meningitis.
