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, and other genitourinary infections. Lemierre disease must be differentiated from peritonsillar abscess, pharyngitis, and soft tissue neck abscess.
