ABSTRACT
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.Palavras-chave
