dc.description.abstractLemierre syndrome is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) secondary to bacterial pharyngitis or tonsillitis. Though antibiotic use has made this a rarer syndrome, it can nevertheless manifest in patients presenting with pharyngitis. Herein, we describe a 20-year-old male patient with no relevant medical history presenting with signs concerning for pneumonia and was ultimately diagnosed with Lemierre syndrome with <i>Streptococcus constellatus</i> bacteremia. Complications included IJV thrombus with presumed septic emboli to the lungs. The patient was discharged on ampicillin/sulbactam with plans to transition to amoxicillin/clavulanate.en
