Article Synopsis
- Lemierre syndrome (LS) is a rare but serious condition that can occur in young children, characterized by bacteremia, thrombophlebitis, and metastatic abscesses, often due to Fusobacterium, though Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can also be involved.
- A 12-month-old boy presented with fever and other symptoms following a recent ear infection, ultimately leading to significant complications including lymphadenopathy and deep vein thrombosis, confirming a diagnosis of LS after advanced imaging.
- Clinicians should be vigilant for signs of LS in febrile infants, using advanced imaging for proper evaluation and focusing on MRSA treatment due to its rising prevalence in these cases, while further research is needed for effective management
