Zusammenfassung:A 43-year-old female with a 4-year history of hemodialysis was hospitalized because of fever, painful skin eruptions and myalgia. There was no response to antibiotic treatment.

To our knowledge this is the first case report of Sweet's syndrome in a patient on maintenance hemodialysis.
