Abstract

ABS TR ACT Lemierre s syndrome is a rare disease that occurs due to an oropharyngeal infecti on ca- using internal jugular vein thrombosis and metastatic infection. It is usually seen in previously he- althy ado lescents and young adults. The predominant pat hogen is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacillus, Fusobacterium necrophorum. This syndrome is routinely treated with intravenous anti- biotics and anticoagulants. Herein we report a patient who presented with acute sore throat that led to a bacteremia with the left internal jugular vein thrombosis, and treated with intravenous anti- biotics and anticoagulants in the light of the literature.

Özet

ÖZET Lemierre Sendromu orofaringeal enfeksiyon sonucu internal juguler ven trombozu ve me- tastatik enfeksiyonlara neden olan, nadir bir hastalıktır. Genellikle öncesinde sağlıklı adolesan ve genç erişkinlerde görülür. Hakim patojen Gram-negatif anaerobik basil olan Fusobacterium nec- rophorumdur. Bu sendrom rutin olarak intravenöz antibiyotik ve anti-koagülan ile tedavi edilir. Burada, akut boğaz ağrısının neden olduğu bakteriyemi ile birlikte sol internal juguler ven trom- bozu ile başvuran ve intravenöz antibiyotik ve düşük moleküler ağırlıklı heparin ile tedavi ettiği- miz hastamızı ve literatüre bakışı sunuyoruz.
