Overview
Causes
Peripheral Vein Thrombophlebitis
Common causes of peripheral vein thrombophlebitis include:.[1][2]
- Staphylococcus aureus (most common cause)
- Streptococci
- Enterobacteriaceae
Suppurative thrombophlebitis usually occur in peripheral veins as a result of an intravenous catheter, or dissemination from a surrounding soft tissue infection . Other causes may include intravenous drug use, abrasions, lacerations, 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.[3]
Lemierre's syndrome
Common causes of Lemierre syndrome are:[4][5]
- Fusobacterium necrophorum (in 80% of cases)
- Fusobacterium nucleatum
- Bacteroides species
- Streptococcal species
Lemierre's syndrome also known as jugular vein suppurative thrombophlebitis,postanginal sepsis, and necrobacillosis.[6] There is extension of the bacterial infection from pharyngitis, tonsillitis, or peri-tonsillar infection, to the carotid sheath vessels that contains the internal jugular vein resulting in inflammation, thrombosis, and infection.[7]
Vena Cava
The most common causes of vena cava thrombophlebitis are:
Vena cava suppurative thrombophlebitis usually occurs in central venous catheter settings
