Unusual presentation of Lemierre's syndrome due to Fusobacterium nucleatum.

Michael D Williams1, Caroline A Kerber, Helen F Tergin.   

Abstract

We report a case of Lemierre's syndrome due to Fusobacterium nucleatum in a previously healthy 19-year-old male. This is the first case report of Lemierre's syndrome due to thrombophlebitis of the external jugular vein. The patient had a rapid clinical response to anticoagulation and antibiotics, as supported by anecdotal evidence.
