Natural history, Complications and Prognosis
The most common complication of suppurative thrombophlebitis is metastatic septic foci spreading to different organs of the body. Examples of these complications 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 S. aureus.[1]
