摘要：

Lemierre syndrome used to be a complication of severe oropharyngeal infection with regional thrombophlebitis, septicaemia and septic metastatic infections caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum in the pre-antibiotic era. A case of septic arthritis of the hip caused by F. necrophorum as a complication of tonsillectomy Is reported in a 9-year-old boy. Conclusion Lemierre syndrome, usually seen after an oropharyngeal infection, can also complicate tonsillectomy.
