Pathophysiology
Peripheral Vein
Suppurative thrombophlebitis usually occur in peripheral veins as a result of an intravenous catheter or peripherally inserted central venous catheter. Other causes may include intravenous drug use, abrasions and lacerations, soft-tissue infection, hypercoagulable states, and burns.
The high risk of Suppurative thrombophlebitis in burn patients is explained by the high skin susceptibility to bacterial infection, use of broad spectrum antibiotics, and impairment of local defense due to loss of skin integrity.[1]
Staphylococcus aureus has been documented as the most common cause of suppurative thrombophlebitis affecting the peripheral veins.[2] Other documented organisms include streptococci, and enterobacteria.[3] There is extension of bacterial infection from pharyngitis, tonsillitis, or peritonsillar infection, to the carotid sheath vessels resulting in bacteremia.
Lemierre's syndrome
Lemierre's syndrome also known as jugular vein suppurative thrombophlebitis,postanginal sepsis, and necrobacillosis.[4]
