Lemierre’s syndrome

Original language description

Lemierre’s syndrome is a rare complication of oropharyngeal infections and includes internal jugular vein thrombosis with septic emboli, occurring most frequently in the lungs. While F. necrophorum (i.e., the typical causative agent) is usually sensitive to beta-lactams, metronidazole, and clindamycin, it is commonly resistant to macrolides.1 Recent data suggest that F. necrophorum could be an important bacterial cause of non-streptococcal group A tonsillitis and that appropriate antibiotic treatment might prevent some cases of Lemierre’s syndrome.
