A 14-year-old boy presented with fever and progressive respiratory distress, one week after an episode of pharyngitis. Although there was a concern about pulmonary embolism secondary to a lower extremity fracture, his presentation was most consistent with Lemierre syndrome. This syndrome is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication of otolaryngological infections. Early recognition and aggressive antibiotic therapy are critical elements in reducing mortality. Emergency physicians should be aware of this syndrome because its incidence appears to be increasing.
一名 14 岁男孩在咽峡炎发作一周后出现发热和进行性呼吸窘迫。虽然人们担心下肢骨折继发肺栓塞，但他的表现最符合林氏综合征。这种综合征是耳鼻喉感染的一种罕见但潜在致命的并发症。早期识别和积极的抗生素治疗是降低死亡率的关键因素。急诊医生应该意识到这种综合征，因为它的发病率似乎在增加。
