What symptom does infection have after scald?

Duodenal mucosal erosion, ulcer and bleeding after burn are called curling ulcer, which may be related to the damage of mucosa by hydrogen ion countercurrent after gastrointestinal ischemia and reperfusion.

Brain edema or liver necrosis is also related to hypoxia and infection. It should be noted that the death of burn is often caused by multiple system organ failure.
