Abstract
The combination of acute pharyngotonsillitis, neck pain, fever, and pulmonary septic emboli caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum in a healthy young person is extremely rare. The entity was described by Lemierre in 1936 as a typical syndrome easy to recognize and diagnose exclusively on clinical grounds. A case of Lemierre's disease is reported, and 10 other cases found in the medical literature are reviewed.Entities:
