Abstract

This article explores a rare skin condition called cryptococcoid Sweet syndrome, which can be triggered by infection, cancer, or certain medications. The case discussed involves a patient who had previously used hydralazine and had a history of cocaine use. The article emphasizes the connection between hydralazine use and autoimmune disorders like Sweet syndrome. It also stresses the importance of distinguishing between true cryptococcosis and cryptococcoid Sweet syndrome, and calls for more research on this condition and its potential causes.
