Lemierre's syndrome in a patient with habitual toothpick usage
چکیده انگلیسی

Lemierre's syndrome is characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein that is complicated by metastatic infections. The disease usually presents after oropharyngeal infection. In rare cases, odontogenic infection has been implicated as culprit. Here, we report a case of Lemierre's syndrome that most likely developed secondary to toothpick usage. The patient had an uneventful recovery after the timely administration of the appropriate antibiotics.
