Overview
The mainstay of therapy for suppurative thrombophlebitis is antimicrobial therapy. Empiric therapy includes anti-staphylococcal antibiotics plus antibiotics with coverage against enterobacteriaceae. The benefit of pharmacologic anticoagulation is uncertain in suppurative thrombophlebitis and is not routinely recommended.
Medical Therapy
- The mainstay of therapy for suppurative thrombophlebitis is a prolonged course of targeted antibiotic therapy.
- Duration of therapy is at least 4 weeks for all cases regardless of the causative organism. Patients may need 6 weeks of therapy to clear the infection.
- Any long-term catheters should be removed from patients with suppurative thrombophlebitis. It is recommended that no long-term catheters are inserted before clearing of blood cultures.
- All recommendations are based on observational data. There is no randomized data to determine the optimal duration of antibiotics, use of anticoagulants, thrombolytic agents, or excision of the involved vessel.
- The use of anticoagulants remains controversial, but anticoagulation with heparin should be considered in refractory cases.[1]
