Abstract

Lemierre’s syndrome is a potentially fatal septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. In this report, we document a unique presentation of an EBV-associated morbilliform eruption coincident with the onset of Lemierre’s syndrome. Furthermore, we argue that a diffuse maculopapular eruption in patients with Lemierre’s syndrome should prompt workup for EBV infection.
