Jugular Vein Thrombosis and Anticoagulation Therapy in Lemierre's Syndrome-A Post Hoc Observational and Population-Based Study of 82 Patients.

Patients with Lemierre's syndrome with jugular vein thrombosis were more severely affected, yet had similar prognosis. Most patients with jugular vein thrombosis recovered well without therapeutic anticoagulation therapy, though adverse events were similarly rare in anticoagulated patients. The observational design and rarity of study outcomes require cautious interpretation.
