Archives de pediatrie : organe officiel de la Societe francaise de pediatrie(2023)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Lemierre syndrome is typically associated with ear, nose, and throat (ENT) infections caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum. Since 2002, cases of atypical Lemierre-like syndrome secondary to Staphylococcus aureus have been reported.
CASES:We report two pediatric cases of atypical Lemierre syndrome with a similar presentation: exophthalmia, absence of pharyngitis, metastatic lung infection, and intracranial venous sinus thrombosis. Both patients had a favorable outcome following treatment with antibiotics, anticoagulation, and corticosteroids.
CONCLUSION:Regular therapeutic monitoring of antibiotic levels helped to optimize antimicrobial treatment in both cases.
