A 23-year-old college rower died suddenly of a rare bacterial infection, after brushing off her symptoms as tonsillitis.

 Scott didn’t think too much of her symptoms, and by the time she went to the hospital it was too late to help. There, doctors diagnosed her with Lemierre’s syndrome, an extremely rare infection that starts with a sore throat and fever, and turns into swelling and pus that moves through the body. It’s not fully understood how the disease develops, but antibiotics are needed as soon as possible. 
  
 The college student, who was pursuing a degree in architectural engineering, died on Saturday. 
  
 “Samantha was a great leader for our program and more importantly a great person,” her rowing coach Patrick Sweeney said in a statement. “She was so well-liked by all of her teammates and had such a big impact on our program both on and off the water.”

 Scott’s longtime friend from her hometown of Fort Morgan, Colorado, said that the athlete would always brighten her day. 
  
 “She could cheer you up if you were having a bad day, and just going to practice was like being with your family and being with someone who was always upbeat and happy,” Kennidi Cobbley told Fox 31 in Denver.

 Cobbley set up a GoFundMe page to help Scott’s parents with medical and funeral bills, and to set up a scholarship fund in her name. 
  
 “They’re struggling to deal with what’s happening, and now they have this huge financial burden, and if there’s anything I can do to help, it’s just really to get the message out there,” Cobbley said. ||||| syndrome 
  
 bacteria 
  
 In about 90% of cases, Lemierreis caused by theFusobacterium necrophorum. It has also been reported with other bacteria, including Stapylococcus aureus, Bacteroides, Eikenella, Porphyromonas, Prevotella, Proteus, Peptostreptococcus and Streptococcus pyogenes.It is poorly understood why this syndrome develops, but there are many theories. Because Fusobacterium necrophorum is present in the throats of healthy people, some researchers suspect it may be driven by factors that allow the bacteria to invade the mucosa . Factors that may be involved include viral or bacterial pharyngitis and Epstein-Barr virus , both of which have been found in patients before the diagnosis of Lemierre syndrome. ||||| Please enable Javascript to watch this video 
  
 FORT MORGAN, Colo. -- A college athlete from Fort Morgan in northeast Colorado died suddenly from a rare disease. 
  
 Samantha Scott was on the rowing team at Kansas State University when she came down with Lemierre's syndrome. It's an infection that begins in the throat and is poorly understood by doctors. 
  
 Scott and Kennidi Cobbley were lifelong friends. The were friends since they were mini-dance teammates in Fort Morgan on Colorado's eastern Plains. 
  
 Kennidi went to the University of Northern Colorado. Scott went to Kansas State where she went on to become an accomplished member of the rowing team. She was studying architectural engineering. 
  
 The pair stayed in touch as best friends do. But two weeks ago, Scott didn't feel well. Initially, it was thought tonsillitis was to blame. 
  
 Her family said it was Lemierre’s syndrome. The bacterial infection begins in the throat and spreads through the lymphatic vessels. 
  
 Symptoms can include sore throat and fever, followed by swelling of the internal jugular vein. 
  
 It's a fast-acting bacteria that can take over a person's body quickly if not treated soon enough. 
  
 A GoFundMe page is set up to help Scott's family with medical bills and funeral expenses. They hope to establish a scholarship in Scott's name. |||||
Output:
A top rower for Kansas State University hadn't been feeling well and suspected she had tonsillitis. But Samantha Scott put off getting medical treatment for too long, and by the time she went to the hospital two weeks later, it was too late, per People: The 23-year-old architectural engineering major died Saturday, not of tonsillitis, but of a rare bacterial infection. The sickness, called Lemierre syndrome, typically starts in the throat (as Scott's did) accompanied by a fever, then pushes pus-filled tissue through the body and to major organs. By the time it was found in Scott, the antibiotics usually used to treat the infection were useless. "On Saturday, I guess she 'coded,' and there was no way to help," Kennidi Cobbley, Scott's lifelong friend from her hometown of Fort Morgan, Colo., tells KDVR. "Samantha was a great leader for our program and more importantly a great person," her rowing coach said in a statement. "She was so well-liked by all of her teammates and had such a big impact on our program both on and off the water." A GoFundMe set up by Cobbley to help Scott's parents pay for medical expenses incurred and now funeral costs had raised nearly $5,000 as of Friday morning. The GoFundMe site notes Scott was also an accomplished basketball player and gymnast before she headed to Kansas State to try her hand as a rowing coxswain. (An MLB player recently fought off a life-threatening bacterial infection.)
