Lemierre's syndrome is more common in young adults and the majority of patients present with pharyngitis. Multifocal pyomyositis is very rare in this setting and in young children. We present here a case of multifocal pyomyositis caused by Fusobacterium spp. in a young child. Fusobacterium should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multifocal pyomyositis of unclear etiology.
林氏综合征更常见于年轻人，大多数患者表现为咽炎。这种情况下，多发性肌炎在幼儿中非常罕见。我们在此介绍一例由梭杆菌属引起的幼儿多发性肌炎病例。对于病因不明的多发性肌炎，应考虑梭杆菌属作为鉴别诊断。
