lemierre's syndrome

What are the systemic effects of Lemierre's Syndrome on histology?

Once the thrombus dislodges and causes septic emboli, multiple organs can be affected. Histologically, this can manifest as:
- Lung abscesses: Areas of necrosis surrounded by inflammatory cells, primarily neutrophils.
- Liver abscesses: Similar to lung abscesses, with areas of necrosis and surrounding inflammation.
- Septic arthritis: Infected joints showing synovial membrane inflammation and pus formation.
- Renal abscesses: Infected areas within the kidney demonstrating necrosis and inflammatory infiltration.
