Suppurative thrombophlebitis usually occur in peripheral veins as a result of an intravenous catheter, or dissemination from a surrounding soft tissue infection .  Other causes may include intravenous drug use, abrasions, lacerations, hypercoagulable states, and burns.
The high risk of suppurative thrombophlebitis in burn patients is explained by the high skin susceptibility to bacterial infection, use of broad spectrum antibiotics, and impairment of local defense due to loss of skin integrity.<ref name="pmid7369818">{{cite journal| author=Pruitt BA, McManus WF, Kim SH, Treat RC| title=Diagnosis and treatment of cannula-related intravenous sepsis in burn patients. | journal=Ann Surg | year= 1980 | volume= 191 | issue= 5 | pages= 546-54 | pmid=7369818 | doi= | pmc=PMC1344732 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7369818  }} </ref>
