Definitions

n.名词 noun

1
Pathology.
- : inflammation of a vein, often occurring in the legs and involving the formation of a thrombus, characterized by swelling, pain, and change of skin color.

The most common cause of venous thrombosis, however, is inflammation of the wall of the vein—phlebitis.
The infective form usually begins as a peri-phlebitis arising in connection with some focus of infection in the adjacent tissues.
Like other pyogenic infections, it may terminate in pyæmia, as a result of septic phlebitis in the marrow.
Phlebitis, or inflammation of a vein, may be plastic or purulent in nature.
The clot of suppurative phlebitis cannot be absorbed and cannot organize.
