Symptoms of scald infection

summary

We should take good care of the wound after being scalded, because if we don't pay attention to it, the wound will be infected. The harm caused by scald infection is great, such as sepsis and bacteremia, and the possibility of renal failure. The treatment of complications caused by it is very difficult, so it is very important to clean the scalded part. I'll tell you about the symptoms of scald infection.

Symptoms of scald infection

Sepsis: cells (or other microorganisms) invade the blood stream and propagate in the blood or organs and tissues. At the same time, they produce a large number of mycins and products, causing systemic clinical symptoms, accompanied by changes in hemodynamics and metabolism-- It's called sepsis. If septic shock occurs, the prognosis is poor. The diagnosis of sepsis is usually based on positive blood culture. The bacteria causing sepsis may come from burn wound, venous catheter infection, visceral infection, or enterogenous infection.

Burn wound sepsis: Pseudomonas aeruginosa propagates in the normal tissue around the burn wound, invades lymphatic vessels and vascular walls or penetrates into blood vessels to form embolism. The release of a large number of endomycin into the blood circulation, the clinical symptoms of sepsis, blood culture is often negative, known as burn wound sepsis. There was perivasculitis or vasculitis in the tissue biopsy around the wound. The amount of bacteria in the tissue around the wound is generally greater than 105 / g tissue. However, this index is not an index for the diagnosis of wound sepsis. It should be judged by biopsy and systemic symptoms.

Endomycinemia: endomycins are released into the blood by the inner layer of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, leading to changes in hemodynamics and the function of the main viscera, resulting in septic symptoms, but the blood culture is negative. Serum limulus test can be used to determine the content of endomycins.
