Lemierre's syndrome is a potentially severe disease characterised by suppurative thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein and subsequent disseminated septic embolisation. The profile of this syndrome declined in the mid-20th century, coinciding with the introduction of antibiotics. Currently, lack of awareness of this condition delays appropriate treatment and worsens prognosis. We report a case of Lemierre's syndrome in a 12-year-old girl.
勒米尔综合征是一种潜在的严重疾病,其特征为颈内静脉化脓性血栓性静脉炎及随后的播散性脓毒性栓塞。该综合征的发病率在20世纪中叶有所下降,这与抗生素的引入时间相符。目前,对这种疾病缺乏认识会导致治疗延迟并使预后恶化。我们报告一例12岁女孩的勒米尔综合征病例。
