Bacterial invasion is mainly through the upper respiratory tract, skin and digestive tract, due to large-area burns, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, pneumonia is also more common, old age, infirmity, the original chronic cardiopulmonary disease, the application of broad-spectrum antibiotics and equipment pollution, are common causes of disease.
