TI  - Concomitant acute deep venous thrombosis and superficial thrombophlebitis of the 
      lower limbs.
PG  - 26-32
AB  - INTRODUCTION: Some patients may have deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and superficial 
      thrombophlebitis (ST) of the lower limbs at the same time. AIMS: To analyze the 
      frequency of risk factors for thrombosis (RF), other than thrombophilias, in 
      patients with concomitant DVT and ST. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Clinical examination, 
      plasma D-dimers and duplex ultrasonography were performed in 88 consecutive 
      patients (mean age 64.9 +/-13.9 years) admitted in Medical Clinic in 2007. 
      Patients with DVT were divided into two groups: A (with ST - 30 subjects, 34.1%) 
      and B (without ST - 58 patients, 65.9%). RESULTS: Conditions known as RF were the 
      following (Group A versus B): varicose veins (17 vs 21 patients, p=0.11), obesity 
      (12 vs 19, p=0.66), previous venous thromboembolism (8 vs 16, p=0.87), malignancy 
      (4 vs 10, p=0.44), chronic obstructive lung disease (4 vs 7, p=0.56), sepsis (2 
      vs 3, p=0.56), stroke and chemotherapy (1 vs 2, p=0.73), bed rest more than three 
      days (1 vs 7, p=0.17), major surgery (1 vs 1, p=0.57), family history of DVT (1 
      vs 0, p=0.57), immobilizing plaster cast (0 vs 1, p=0.57). CONCLUSION: One third 
      of patients with DVT had ST. None of those conditions considered as RF for DVT 
      correlated with DVT-ST association.
