I had this when i was 15 years old. It was 2006. I was in CHEO in Canada, the journey threw this was crazy! My parents took me to CHEO 8 times, and then to the Queensway adult hospital. But by this time i was already dying. It took the doctors several days to figure out what was wrong with me they had to call in a Specialist from Toronto Children's Hospital and helicopter him in. They sat down at a desk with over 40 doctors all trying to figure pout what was wrong with me. I died the 3rd night in ICU ( in a isolation room), Luckily my heart started again and thats when they decided to do the meeting. They basically told my parents they had no idea what was wrong with me. Im so happy that you are educating people about the rare but yet deadly syndrome because it comes on super quick within a few hours i was very sick and then within a 1 week i was basically dying. So thank you for this!

Awesome video! It's so important to raise awareness about Lemierre's Syndrome, since it can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated properly and immediately. :)

Thats what happened to me. Went for a vacation to Colorado. Had a sore throat had white bumps in the back. On our way I started shaking and when I went they said it was a sore throat. Strep came out negative. All of the sudden I was in the hospital for a month with blood clots in the internal jugular vein, chest tubes and cavity pneumonia, liver failure and I’m still recovering because I get tired real quick. My knees also had to be drained.

My condolences and I’m so thankful you were strong enough to withstand it. My baby sister is currently in icu right now because of this, and is in bad shape. I cry alsmot every hour, I can’t sleep and eat because my worry is so much. I can’t even see her because of COVID. I just want someone to talk to and tell me everything is gonna be ok. I can’t take this pain anymore...

My baby sister is in icu right now because of this and I am scared and terrified beyond words. I can’t stop crying and I can’t eat anything. My sister has pneumonia, a long with a lot of excess fluids in her lungs. Her kidneys are also failing and I don’t know what to do but cry... I can’t even see her because of the pandemic..

Great and informative video! I had Lemierre's Syndrome 2-3 weeks ago and since it's very rare I'm grateful the doctors found it so quickly. Thankfully I feel good now but have to take anti biotics for 2 more weeks. Got really scared when my CPR was at 275 :P

I had this a couple months ago. I didn't have any throat pain but I had been sick for like 3 weeks and then one day I went into septic shock. They brought me to the hospital and found a huge abscess in my liver that had to be removed. Then I spent a week in the hospital as they tried to figure out what I had. Turns out the root canal I had shortly before my illness was the cause of it so they put me on blood thinners and antibiotics. I am lucky to be alive, the doctor said another week or so and I would have died

I had lemierre about 3 weeks ago with CPR 500. I went on surgery directly when they diagnosed the CPR 500 and stayed about 1,5 week in hospital. Luckily I don’t have any residual symptons.

Hi! I'm not in the USA, but with what kind of doctor (specialist) should the patient go when suspect Lemierre syndrome? Thank you.

My PCP found mine through blood cultures. However, Infectious Disease doctors treat it.

If Lemierre's syndrome is suspected, the patient should go to the ER, as LS is fatal if not treated immediately. Once the patient is admitted to the hospital, the treatment team should include ENT, infectious disease and hematology specialists. :)
