Lemierre syndrome and nosocomial transmission of Fusobacterium necrophorum from patient to physician.
Klinische Pädiatrie 2010 December
BACKGROUND: Human-to-human transmission of Fusobacterium necrophorum has not been described before.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 15-year-old girl with Lemierre Syndrome and possible nosocomial transmission of F. necrophorum to her treating physician in hospital.
CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and treatment of anaerobic pharyngitis is critical to prevent Lemierre Syndrome. Respiratory precautions should be recommended to medical staff caring for patients with suspected Lemierre Syndrome to prevent nosocomial transmission.
