Abstract:
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE:Lemierre's syndrome is often misdiagnosed as a common cold or viral infection. Fusobacterium necrophorum is the most common causative organism. The recommended treatment regimen is 6 weeks of a beta-lactam antibiotic along with metronidazole. CASE DESCRIPTION:We present two cases of Lemierre's syndrome with internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis and positive blood cultures for F. necrophorum. The first case was successfully treated with 6 weeks of a beta-lactam antibiotic and 4 weeks of metronidazole, while the second case was successfully treated with 4 weeks of a beta-lactam antibiotic and 2 weeks of metronidazole. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION:Two cases of Lemierre's syndrome were treated successfully with only 2-4 weeks of metronidazole therapy. Shorter duration of metronidazole therapy should be explored in future studies.

abstract:BACKGROUND:Epilepsy is a disease requiring chronic therapy with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Many conventional AEDs currently available have either too rapid an absorption or elimination, requiring the patient to take multiple doses per day, which may adversely impact adherence or cause peak-related side-effects. Conseq...
