Lemierre syndrome is characterized by an acute oropharyngeal infection, suppurative thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, anaerobic sepsis, and metastatic infections. Before the discovery of antibiotics, this disease usually was fatal. We report the case of a patient with all of these findings, indicating that Lemierre syndrome still is seen today. Prompt recognition, abscess drainage, and appropriate antibiotic coverage result in complete recovery in most patients.
勒米尔综合征的特征为急性口咽感染、颈内静脉化脓性血栓性静脉炎、厌氧性败血症及转移性感染。在抗生素发现之前，这种疾病通常是致命的。我们报告了一例具有所有这些表现的患者病例，表明如今仍可见到勒米尔综合征。及时识别、脓肿引流及适当的抗生素治疗可使大多数患者完全康复。
