Overview
Pelvic thrombophlebitis was discovered by the end of the 19th century when von Recklinhausen described an entity in which pelvic infection was characterized by thrombosis of one or both ovarian veins while the remaining pelvis was normal, proposing surgical excision as the therapeutic approach.[1] Sepsis following from a throat infection was first described by Scottmuller in 1918. In 1936, André Lemierre published a series of 20 cases where throat infections were followed by identified anaerobic septicemia, of whom 18 patients died. This disease came to be known as Lemierre syndrome.[2]
