Abstract
Ten randomly selected patients with recurrent non-traumatic thrombophlebitis of unknown etiology were studied using a comprehensive environmental control method. All cleared their phlebitis without medications. Using withdrawal and challenge of incitants, 8 of 10 patients had their phlebitis reproduced. The numerous single triggering agents were commonplace inhaled and ingested foods and chemicals. The possibility of an atopic etiology is discussed.
