People who have had radical mastectomy (removal of a breast and nearby lymph nodes), a leg vein removed for coronary bypass surgery, or recurrent lymphangitis caused by tinea pedis (a fungal infection on the foot)
a bacterial infection in the lymphatic vessels which is characterized by painful, red streaks below the skin surface. This is a potentially serious infection which can rapidly spread to the bloodstream and be fatal
he Stages for acute injury is the RICE treatment or in more recent times the POLICE treatment
the bacteria can cause tissue destruction in the area of the infection. A pus-filled, painful lump called an abscess may be formed in the infected area. Cellulitis, a generalized infection of the lower skin layers, may also occur
bacteria enter the body through a cut, scratch, insect bite, surgical wound, or other skin injury. Once the bacteria enter the lymphatic system, they multiply rapidly and follow the lymphatic vessel like a highway
Complete recovery is expected if antibiotic treatment is begun at an early stage of the infection. However, if untreated, acute lymphangitis can be a very serious and even deadly disease

An untreated infection may spread to the lymphatic system (acute lymphangitis ), the lymph nodes (lymphadenitis ), the bloodstream (bacteremia ), or into deeper tissues.
Treatment that is given to stop or ease the pain of a migraine headache after it has started is known as acute or abortive treatment.

457.2 is the ICD9 code for lymphangitis. That code refers to inflammation of a lymph vessel.
most often caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. This potentially dangerous bacterium also causes strep throat, infections of the heart, spinal cord, and lungs
Chronic because with out treatment you would die. with treatment it would still leave you with permanent damage with acute side effects. lol
because acute kidney failure
A sample of blood would be taken for culture to determine whether the bacteria have entered the bloodstream. A biopsy (removal of a piece of infected tissue) sample may be taken for culture to identify which type of bacteria is causing the infection.
