Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Lemierre's syndrome is an uncommon clinical entity characterized by oropharyngeal infection followed by septic thrombophlebitis of the jugular vein with embolization to the lungs and other organs. The organism is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, Fusobacterium necrophorum. We report a case of Lemierre's syndrome in an 8-year-old child who presented with septic arthritis of the left hip joint. Roentgenograms and computed tomography demonstrated gas in the joint and adjacent soft tissues, along with a dislocated hip. Sonography of the neck coupled with the colour Doppler technique did not reveal any abnormality in the jugular veins. A blood culture grew Fusobacterium necrophorum, confirming the diagnosis of Lemierre's syndrome. |
