Overview
Complications
The most common complication of suppurative thrombophlebitis is metastatic septic foci spreading to different organs of the body. Common complications of suppurative thrombophlebitis include:
- Septic shock
- Sustained sepsis
- Infective endocarditis
- Septic emboli to the central nervous system
- Septic pulmonary emboli
- Osteomyelitis
- Septic arthritis
- Arteritis
Complications of suppurative thrombophlebitis occur in one third of all patients with catheter-associated peripheral septic phlebitis, with the most severe complications caused by Staphylococcus aureus.[1]
Prognosis
Septic thrombophlebitis of the intracranial dural sinuses has a very high mortality rate, compared to pelvic and jugular thrombophlebitis. Lemierre syndrome has a documented mortality rate of 6.4%.[2]
