For superficial suppurative thrombophlebitis, there is usually a history of '''intravenous catheter, a phlebotomy attempt, or an intravenous injection'''.  Clinical manifestations include:<ref name="pmid464215">{{cite journal| author=Baker CC, Petersen SR, Sheldon GF| title=Septic phlebitis: a neglected disease. | journal=Am J Surg | year= 1979 | volume= 138 | issue= 1 | pages= 97-103 | pmid=464215 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=464215  }} </ref><ref name="pmid9002104">{{cite journal| author=Khan EA, Correa AG, Baker CJ| title=Suppurative thrombophlebitis in children: a ten-year experience. | journal=Pediatr Infect Dis J | year= 1997 | volume= 16 | issue= 1 | pages= 63-7 | pmid=9002104 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9002104  }} </ref>

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]

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]
