An Otogenic Variant of Lemierre's Syndrome Caused by Trueperella bernardiae: A Case Report and Literature Review
Upper airway infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, including pharyngitis and tonsillitis, are a common cause of septic thrombosis (Lemierre's syndrome). Although otitis media rarely progresses to systemic infection, an abscess surrounding the middle ear can affect the central nervous system....

description | Upper airway infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, including pharyngitis and tonsillitis, are a common cause of septic thrombosis (Lemierre's syndrome). Although otitis media rarely progresses to systemic infection, an abscess surrounding the middle ear can affect the central nervous system. Trueperella bernardiae was originally considered a non-pathogenic aerobic bacterium but has subsequently been reported to cause bacteremia and brain abscesses. Here, we report a case of otitis media caused by T. bernardiae complicated by meningitis, subdural empyema, and septic pulmonary emboli in an immunocompetent patient. |
