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.
