Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Lemierre’s syndrome is now a rare condition with an incidence of 0.36 cases per 100,000 individuals annually.[1]
Extremes of age also predispose the occurrence of septic thrombophlebitis, due to the increased risk of infections by catheters in multiple health issues.
