Lemierre’s Syndrome in a Commercial Airline Pilot

There is currently no consensus in the medical literature on the timing, duration, dosing, or type of anticoagulant for LS, making it challenging to publish unified recommendations for Aviation Medical Examiners. This case report highlights the importance of an individualized approach to prevent unjustified grounding of pilots on anticoagulation. Fandino A, Woodbridge C, Back G, Sprott T.

Abstract

There is currently no consensus in the medical literature on the timing, duration, dosing, or type of anticoagulant for LS, making it challenging to publish unified recommendations for Aviation Medical Examiners. This case report highlights the importance of an individualized approach to prevent unjustified grounding of pilots on anticoagulation. Fandino A, Woodbridge C, Back G, Sprott T. Lemierre's syndrome in a commercial airline pilot. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2026; 97(4):296-299.
