Phlebitis Migrans: Examination

A comprehensive clinical examination is the basis for selecting further diagnostic steps:

• General physical examination – including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, height; furthermore:
  • Inspection (viewing).
    • Skin [Phlebitis migrans usually heals spontaneously after two to three weeks. It may leave a slight hyperpigmentation]
    • Extremities (including measurement of the circumference of the lower leg on both sides).

Square brackets [ ] indicate possible pathological (pathological) physical findings.
