| description | Lemierre syndrome is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) secondary to bacterial pharyngitis or tonsillitis. Though antibiotic use has made this a rarer syndrome, it can nevertheless manifest in patients presenting with pharyngitis. Herein, we describe a 20-year-old male patient with no relevant medical history presenting with signs concerning for pneumonia and was ultimately diagnosed with Lemierre syndrome with
bacteremia. Complications included IJV thrombus with presumed septic emboli to the lungs. The patient was discharged on ampicillin/sulbactam with plans to transition to amoxicillin/clavulanate. |
