History and Symptoms

For superficial suppurative thrombophlebitis, there is usually a history of intravenous catheter, a phlebotomy attempt, or an intravenous injection. Clinical manifestations include fever, erythema, tenderness, and purulent drainage at the site of the involved vessel.[1][2] Lemierre syndrome should be suspected when there is association with pharyngitis, acute fever, rigors, localized neck pain.[3]
