Lemierre's syndrome is a very rare and life-threatening complication of bacterial pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Often referred to as a 'forgotten disease', Lemierre's syndrome has seen a rise in cases over the years secondary to increased antibiotic resistance. With the potential for multiple organ failure secondary to widespread septic emboli, Lemierre's syndrome can no longer be forgotten. Prompt initiation of treatment is needed for better patient outcomes. We describe an unusual case of a young female without any significant past medical history who presented with left-sided pleuritic chest pain several days after experiencing a sore throat.
勒米尔综合征是细菌性咽炎和扁桃体炎一种非常罕见且危及生命的并发症。多年来，勒米尔综合征常被称为“被遗忘的疾病”，由于抗生素耐药性增加，其病例有所上升。鉴于广泛的脓毒性栓子可能导致多器官功能衰竭，勒米尔综合征再也不能被忽视了。为了获得更好的患者预后，需要及时开始治疗。我们描述了一例不寻常的病例，一名没有任何重大既往病史的年轻女性，在咽痛几天后出现左侧胸膜炎性胸痛。
