Overview

Suppurative thrombophlebitis is characterized by the co-existence of venous thrombosis along with inflammation and bacteremia.[1] Suppurative thrombophlebitis usually occur in the setting of an intravascular catheter, and suspected in patients with radiographic evidence of thrombosis and persistent bacteremia after 72 hours of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. It is a serious condition that can lead to sepsis and death if not treated properly.
