Knöpfel, Nicole; Theiler, Martin; Luchsinger, Isabelle; Hafner, Bettina; Brunner, Corinne; Kolm, Isabel; Weibel, Lisa (2020). Infliximab for the treatment of recalcitrant bullous Sweet syndrome in a 10-year-old girl. Pediatric Dermatology, 37(6):1183-1184.
We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with bullous Sweet syndrome, recalcitrant to high-dose systemic corticosteroids. Subsequent treatment with infliximab resulted in a rapid improvement in cutaneous lesions and systemic symptoms. Cutis laxa was noted in the healed skin. We propose early second-line treatment with infliximab in children with steroid-refractory Sweet syndrome.
