Resumen

El síndrome de Lemierre es un cuadro poco frecuente en la actualidad. Consiste en una tromboflebitis séptica de la vena yugular interna, con frecuentes metástasis sépticas, secundaria a una infección faríngea u odontógena producida generalmente por gérmenes Gram-negativos anaerobios. Aunque su incidencia es escasa en la era antibiótica, debe ser conocido por tratarse de una complicación grave que requiere la instauración de un tratamiento específico precoz. Presentamos un caso de Síndrome de Lemierre ocurrido en nuestro hospital.

Abstract

Lemierre´s syndrome is an uncommon clinical entity. It consists of an acute oropharyngeal infection, with secondary septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein frequently complicated with multiple metastatic infections. It is generally caused by anaerobic Gramnegative organisms. Although it is rarely reported in the antibiotic era, this disease must be taken into account because it is a potentially lifethreatening infection requiring a specific and early treatment. We report a case of Lemierre´s syndrome managed in our hospital.
