Pyoderma Gangrenosum and Sweet Syndrome: ODAC Interview

By ODAC Sessions

neutrophilic dermatoses

Neutrophilic dermatoses aren’t commonly addressed in dermatologic continuing education, yet understanding how to diagnose these dermatoses is important. An accurate diagnosis could reveal an underlying autoinflammatory disease.

Watch this Next Steps in Derm video interview with Anthony Fernandez, MD, PhD, FAAD, from ODAC 2025, where he addresses the most common neutrophilic dermatoses that a dermatologist will see in clinic: pyoderma gangrenosum and Sweet syndrome.

Dr. Fernandez shares criteria for making an accurate pyoderma gangrenosum diagnosis. Learn treatment options and why wound healing expertise is key when managing these patients. Find out why Dr. Fernandez says treating Sweet syndrome may be easier than treating pyoderma gangrenosum. Plus hear about a late-onset, autoinflammatory disease that may be an underlying disease in certain patients who present with rashes that are consistent with Sweet syndrome.
