THE ROLE AND PRINCIPLES OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY IN PHLEBITIS: AN ACADEMIC REVIEW

Phlebitis, defined as inflammation of a vein, is a common clinical condition that may arise from mechanical, chemical, or infectious causes. While non-infectious phlebitis is often self-limiting, infectious forms require prompt and appropriate antibiotic therapy to prevent complications such as sepsis or deep vein thrombosis. This article reviews the importance, indications, and principles of antibiotic therapy in phlebitis, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to management.静脉炎（Phlebitis）被定义为静脉的炎症反应，是一类常见的临床病症，可由机械性、化学性或感染性病因诱发。无菌性静脉炎通常具有自限性，而感染性静脉炎则需及时给予恰当的抗生素治疗，以预防脓毒症（sepsis）、深静脉血栓形成等并发症的发生。本文综述了静脉炎抗生素治疗的重要性、适应证及治疗原则，着重强调基于循证医学的诊疗策略。
