Overview
Peripheral suppurative thrombophlebitis should be differentiated from cellulitis and deep venous thrombosis; while abdominal and pelvic vein suppurative thrombophlebitis must be differentiated from septic abortion, acute appendicitis, cholangitis, cholecystitis, intra-abdominal infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, and postpartum infections. Lemierre disease should be differentiated from peritonsillar abscess, pharyngitis, and soft tissue neck abscess.
Suppurative Thrombophlebitis Differential Diagnosis
- Peripheral suppurative thrombophlebitis should be differentiated from other similar conditions (e.g cellulitis, deep venous thrombosis)
- Lemierre disease needs a high level of suspicion, and should be differentiated from peritonsillar abscess, pharyngitis, and soft tissue neck abscess.
- Other conditions that should be differentiated from abdominal and pelvic veins suppurative thrombophlebitis include:
- septic abortion, acute appendicitis, cholangitis, cholecystitis, intra-abdominal infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, and postpartum infections
