A 68-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of a sore throat and fever persisting for a few days. The characteristic skin rash, laboratory findings and stomatitis apthosa indicated a diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome. Antibiotics were ineffective for the treatment of Sweet's syndrome, but predonisolone and potassium iodide were effective. Sweet's syndrome is understood to be a tonsillar focal infection. Tonsillectomy has been reported as effective for the recurrence of Sweet's syndrome. We have been following up the patient without tonsillectomy because of non-recurrence of Sweet's syndrome.
