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]
Lemierre's syndrome
Lemierre's syndrome also known as jugular vein suppurative thrombophlebitis,postanginal sepsis, and necrobacillosis.[4] There is extension of the bacterial infection from pharyngitis, tonsillitis, or peri-tonsillar infection, to the carotid sheath vessels that contain that contains the internal jugular vein resulting inflammation, thrombosis, and infection.[5]
Fusobacterium necrophorum has been documented as the causative pathogen in 80% of Lemierre's syndrome patients.[6] Other pathogens that has been reported include fusobacterium nucleatum, bacteroides species, and streptococcal species.[7]
