Abstract
We have presented a case of Fusobacterium necrophorum septicemia, an uncommon infection whose early course may be typified by vague diffuse symptoms or a seemingly benign upper respiratory tract inflammation mimicking acute viral syndromes or viral pharyngitis. The septicemia is most commonly, but not always preceded by an obvious oropharyngeal focus.Keywords
