Abscesses are very common, but what causes them?

When the human body is acutely infected, the body tissue or organ lesions will necrotize and liquefy, which will form localized abscesses. Abscesses can occur in any organ or tissue, such as fingers, skin, etc. So, what are the causes of abscesses? Let me list them one by one.

Causes of abscess

The disease is mainly caused by bacterial infection, which leads to necrosis and dissolution of inflamed tissue to form a purulent cavity. The key to this disease is: first, prevention, and second, early detection, early diagnosis, and timely treatment, which can often prevent the disease from worsening. Otherwise, it may lead to purulent blood disease and septicemia and endanger life.

Etiology and pathology

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by heat toxins such as eczema and eczema, or trauma, blood overflow and blockage, the burning of various toxins, or skin injuries, damp heat toxins entering the tendons and veins, blocking the flow of heat toxins, and forming swellings; or in summer and autumn, the damp heat toxins are affected by the heat, damp heat toxins, and the cold evil enters the muscles. All of the above factors can cause the obstruction of qi and blood, the internal circulation of evil toxins, the stagnation of heat toxins, and the formation of ulcers.

Staphylococcus aureus

Modern medicine believes that the most common pathogen of this disease is Staphylococcus aureus. Abscesses can occur in the late stage of acute purulent infection, such as post-sprain infection, acute cellulitis, lymphadenitis, erysipelas, and eczema, or they can be transferred from distant primary lesions through blood flow or lymphatic vessels. The pathology is local congestion and swelling, inflammatory infiltration, and finally the formation of localized abscesses.
