Lemierre study

As the sticky message states, we have IRB approval to conduct an interview study titled:

Investigation of the Epidemiology of Lemierre's Disease

If you or a child has had Lemierre's Disease and are willing to participate in this study, please read the following links.  Participation is totally voluntary.  We hope to include 100 Lemierre's patients.  In this study we want to describe the pre-diagnosis course, the hospitalization, the organism involved, and the post-hospitalization recovery.  We will need a informed consent document, a telephone interview (30-60 minutes) with the principal investigator – Dr. Robert Centor – and a copy of the hospital discharge summary.

Consent form

This is a replica of the form.  If you volunteer for this study we will send you a document to print and sign.
