Lemierre's syndrome (LS) or jugular vein suppurative thrombophlebitis is well described in literature. The organisms most often responsible are Fusobacterium necrophorum or anaerobic flora. We present a case of LS with an atypical microbiologic cause, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We also present retrospective review of all LS cases from our institution and identified 2 additional children with LS caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
勒米尔综合征(LS)或颈静脉化脓性血栓性静脉炎在文献中有详尽描述。最常见的致病微生物是坏死梭杆菌或厌氧菌群。我们报告一例由非典型微生物病因——耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌引起的勒米尔综合征病例。我们还对本机构所有勒米尔综合征病例进行了回顾性研究,确定了另外2例由耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌引起勒米尔综合征的儿童病例。
