RESUMO
A 29-year-old Dominican man with a history of intravenous heroin use and hepatitis C presented with a 5-day history of fever, dyspnoea, haemoptysis, pleuritic chest pain, abdominal pain, haematochezia and haematemesis. Initial physical examination was significant for scleral icterus, generalised abdominal tenderness to palpation, melaena and blood-tinged sputum. Blood cultures grew Fusobacterium species. CT scan of the chest revealed multiple bilateral cavitary features in lung fields. At the same time, a neck ultrasound performed demonstrated thrombophlebitis in the right internal jugular vein, confirming the diagnosis of 'Lemierre's syndrome'. Treatment was with antibiotics and supportive care for 6 weeks.
