either at the ankle and ascending, or at the groin and 

 extending down the thigh. Its usual cause is septic 

 infection of the genital region after labor. Two forms 

 are described : The most common and most dangerous 

 is a thrombosis of the veins of the thigh ; the other 

 involves the connective tissues and lymphatic vessels. 

 The dangers of the first form are embolism, general 

 infection, or the extension of the thrombus into the 

 inferior cava. P. malabarica. Synonym of Ele-
