Lemierre’s Syndrome with Involvement of Subclavian Vein

Abstract

Lemierre's syndrome is a potentially fatal syndrome that is seen as a complication of orofarengeal infections and characterized by internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis, septic pulmoner embolism and other system embolism. Lemierre's syndrome is usually caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum, and mortality can be reduced with early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment. In this case, Lemierre's syndrome with subclavian vein involvement is shared and this case is different from previous reports.
