Lemierre's syndrome is a rare disease that results in an oropharyngeal infection, which precipitates an internal jugular vein thrombosis and metastatic infection. Fusobacterium necrophorum is an anaerobic Gram-negative bacillus and has been identified as the causative agent. We describe the case of a young girl whose presentation and diagnosis were confounded by a history of valvular heart disease. Infection of heart valves can produce many of the signs and symptoms associated with Lemierre's syndrome. We describe the diagnosis, investigation and optimal management of this rare disorder.
勒米埃里氏综合征是一种罕见的疾病，可导致口咽感染，继而引发颈内静脉血栓和转移性感染。坏死梭杆菌是一种厌氧革兰氏阴性杆菌，已被确定为病原体。我们描述了一例年轻女孩的病例，其临床表现和诊断因瓣膜性心脏病病史而变得复杂。心脏瓣膜感染可产生许多与勒米埃里氏综合征相关的体征和症状。我们描述了这种罕见疾病的诊断、检查和最佳治疗方法。
