Overview
The majority of patients with suppurative thrombophlebitis have persistent positive blood cultures despite adequate antimicrobial therapy for ≥3 days.
Laboratory Findings
- Patients with suppurative thrombophlebitis (ST) have persistent shedding of bacteria into the bloodstream from an infected thrombus.
- In the majority of patients, blood cultures remain positive for the infecting organism despite adequate antimicrobial therapy for ≥3 days.
- This finding is considered a criterion for the diagnosis of suppurative thrombophlebitis.[1]
