Overview
When obtaining a history from a patient with suspected suppurative thrombophlebitis, specific areas of focus include a history of an intravenous catheter, a phlebotomy attempt, and intravenous injections. Common symptoms of superficial vein thrombophlebitis include fever, erythema, and tenderness and purulent drainage at the site of the involved vessel.[1][2]
History
When obtaining a history from a patient with suspected suppurative thrombophlebitis, specific areas of focus include:
- A history of an intravenous catheter
- A phlebotomy attempt
- Intravenous injections
Symptoms
Common symptoms of superficial vein thrombophlebitis include:[1][2]
- Fever
- Erythema
- Tenderness, and purulent drainage at the site of the involved vessel.
Symptoms of Lemierre syndrome include:[3]
- Erythema, tenderness, swelling, and induration overlying the jugular vein
- Pharyngitis
- Acute fever
- Rigors
- Localized neck pain
Deep veins suppurative thrombophlebitis is characterized by fever in absence of pain or swelling at the site of a central venous catheter. When there is intra-abdominal veins thrombosis, there is usually abdominal pain and discomfort with or without hepatomegaly and jaundice.[4]
