I decided to repost a comment left on the facebook group page of Lemierre's Syndrome Fighters and Survivors because I have heard a lot of people searching for information on this disease and mentioned Akron hospital previously. If you are searching and discover the name Dr. Blaise Congeni, maybe it will help someone.
Here is the post: "TammyNgreg Clark Wow! Another akron Childrens Lemierres patient! So happy to hear your son is doing so well now! Congeni is AWESOME! He did an M&M conference on Lemierres using Stephanies case. She was the 19th case at children's when she was admitted and according to the dr's at that time she was the sickest Lemierres patient they had seen. We have taken Steph to childrens Er several times since because of her throat and I am so happy they know to take any visit very serious. I think awarness is spreading! I had introuduced Congeni to this group when he was gathering everything for the M&M conference. He was so happy to see there was such a group! The man is pasionate that is for sure! You could not be more right when u said life can change fast and all of us that have experience with Lemierres know what a wild scary ride it is! I am so happy that your son was able to be treated right away! Recovery can take time but as each day passes he will become stronger. I wish your son your family and you the best!"
