Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges in Lemierre Syndrome: A Case Report Using Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing

Figures & data

Figure 1 (A) Chest CT upon admission reveals scattered nodules and encapsulated pleural effusion in both lungs. (B) After a 10-day course of oral ceftriaxone and metronidazole, chest CT indicates a partial reduction of the pulmonary lesions. (C) Subsequent chest CT at 12 weeks post-antibiotic treatment, demonstrating significant and sustained regression of pulmonary lesions.

Figure 2 (A) The proximal lumen of the left internal jugular vein exhibits a rich blood flow signal (white arrow). (B) The middle and distal segments of the same vein display weak echogenicity with an absence of notable blood flow signals (white arrow).
