Lemierres Syndrome: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Finds a New Home
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 08/28/09

Bentley TP et al. – The authors present the case of an 8–year–old previously healthy girl who came to the Emergency Department with a 5–day history of left–sided neck pain and was subsequently diagnosed with methicillin–resistant Staphylococcus aureus Lemierre's syndrome. MRSA has not previously been described in Lemierre's syndrome in the Emergency Medicine literature. The clinical presentation, findings, and management of the syndrome are discussed. Regardless of etiology, once the diagnosis of Lemierre's syndrome is made, long–term broad–spectrum intravenous therapy will be necessary.
