I just came across this on PubMed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21297542
Lemierre syndrome caused by group C streptococci and associated with red cell aplasia and immune thrombocytopenia.
I didn't know what Lemierre syndrome was & had to look it up. 20 yrs ago when I first got sick, I had almost all those symptoms. I did not have any blood clots but that's the only symptom I didn't have and maybe because I had very low platelets, and also when my fever went to 104 I got started on antibiotics right away. But I had recurrences of the extreme sore throat, fever and swollen neck glands - they thought I had mono but I didn't. I was in hospital for 2 months with a fever of 106.2 and on IV vancomycin and other abx.
If this is the case though, I am on the right track with the treatment I have chosen.
Hmmmm.
