■Lemierre综合征是咽炎的一种罕见且严重的并发症,估计全球每年发病率为100,000人中的1人。其特征是颈内静脉化脓性血栓性静脉炎伴转移性感染,通常在口咽感染后。据报道,罕见的Lemierre综合征病例是由牙源性感染引起的。
■一名33岁的男性因发烧和咽喉痛的症状来我院就诊16天。其他症状包括左颈部和肩部疼痛。此外,代谢综合征是根据腰围诊断的,糖尿病,和高脂血症。使用宏基因组下一代测序(mNGS)技术检测坏死梭杆菌。增强的计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描显示左近端颈静脉和头臂静脉血栓形成。基于这些观察,诊断为Lemierre综合征。病因是在发病前约2周,根管牙齿中的填充物丢失,没有血液或疼痛。患者在抗生素和血液净化治疗后恢复。
■应评估发烧患者的Lemierre综合征,喉咙痛,颈部疼痛。如果根管治疗的填充物丢失,尤其是那些患有代谢综合征的人,我们应该意识到这种疾病的可能性。此外,mNGS检测可作为发热不确定患者的重要辅助诊断工具.
UNASSIGNED: Lemierre\'s syndrome is a rare and serious complication of pharyngitis with an estimated annual incidence of 1 in 100,000 people worldwide. It is characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with metastatic infection, usually after oropharyngeal infection. Rare cases of Lemierre\'s syndrome have been reported to be caused by odontogenic infection.
UNASSIGNED: A 33-year-old male visited our hospital with symptoms of fever and sore throat for 16 days. The other symptoms included pain in his left neck and shoulder. In addition, metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on waist circumference, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Fusobacterium necrophorum bacteria was detected using the metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technique. The enhanced computerized tomography (CT) scan showed thrombosis of the left proximal jugular vein and brachiocephalic vein. Based on these observations, Lemierre\'s syndrome was diagnosed. The etiology was that the fillings in the root canal tooth were lost with no blood or pain about 2 weeks before the onset. The patient recovered after treatment with antibiotics and blood purification.
UNASSIGNED: Lemierre\'s syndrome should be evaluated for patients with fever, sore throat, and neck pain. If the loss of fillings from root canal therapy occurs, especially for those with metabolic syndrome, we should be aware of the possibility of this disease. Furthermore, the mNGS test can be used as a crucial supplementary diagnostic tool for patients with undetermined fever.
