Lemierre syndrome has classically been described as septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular veins resulting from primary oropharyngeal disease caused by However, many cases have been reported of the syndrome originating from other primary sites of infection, resulting in limited utility of the diagnostic criteria and increased difficulty in making the diagnosis. We describe a 22-year-old female who developed the syndrome through a Fusobacterium infection which originated from a Bartholin gland abscess, a phenomenon that has not yet been described in the literature. Understanding and recognizing the variable forms of Lemierre syndrome allows us to better define the condition and provide optimal care to patients.
勒米尔综合征传统上被描述为由 引起的原发性口咽疾病导致的颈内静脉脓毒性血栓性静脉炎。然而，已有许多病例报告该综合征起源于其他原发性感染部位，导致诊断标准的实用性有限，诊断难度增加。我们描述了一名22岁女性，她因巴氏腺脓肿引发的梭杆菌感染而患上该综合征，这一现象尚未在文献中被描述。了解和认识勒米尔综合征的多种形式，有助于我们更好地界定病情，并为患者提供最佳治疗。
