Overview
Peripheral suppurative thrombophlebitis should be differentiated from cellulitis and deep venous thrombosis; while abdominal and pelvic vein suppurative thrombophlebitis must be differentiated from septic abortion, acute appendicitis, cholangitis, and other genitourinary infections. Lemierre disease should be differentiated from peritonsillar abscess, pharyngitis, and soft tissue neck abscess.
Suppurative Thrombophlebitis Differential Diagnosis
- Peripheral suppurative thrombophlebitis should be differentiated from other similar conditions (e.g cellulitis, deep venous thrombosis)
- Lemierre disease needs a high level of suspicion, and should be differentiated from peritonsillar abscess, pharyngitis, and soft tissue neck abscess.
- Other conditions that should be differentiated from abdominal and pelvic veins suppurative thrombophlebitis include:
- septic abortion, acute appendicitis, cholangitis, cholecystitis, intra-abdominal infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, and postpartum infections
