Overview
When obtaining a history from a patient with suspected suppurative thrombophlebitis, specific areas of focus include a history of an intravenous catheter, a phlebotomy attempt, and intravenous injections. Common symptoms of superficial vein thrombophlebitis include fever, erythema, tenderness, and purulent drainage at the site of the involved vessel.[1][2] Symptoms of Lemierre syndrome include fever, rigors, localized neck pain, and erythema, tenderness, swelling, and induration overlying the jugular vein.[3]
History
When obtaining a history from a patient with suspected suppurative thrombophlebitis, specific areas of focus include:
- A history of an intravenous catheter
- A phlebotomy attempt
- Intravenous injections
Symptoms
Symptoms of Lemierre syndrome include:[3]
- Erythema, tenderness, swelling, and induration overlying the jugular vein
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Rigors
- Localized neck pain
- Muscle pain
Common symptoms of portal vein thrombophlebitis (pylephlebitis) include:[4]
Common symptoms of superficial vein thrombophlebitis include:[1][2]
- Fever
- Erythema
- Tenderness and purulent drainage at the site of the involved vessel
Deep veins suppurative thrombophlebitis is characterized by fever in absence of pain or swelling at the site of a central venous catheter. When there is thrombosis of the intra-abdominal veins, abdominal pain and discomfort with or without hepatomegaly and jaundice may occur.[5]
