Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae are common pathogenic bacteria. Chlamydia and mycoplasma infections have increased significantly in recent years. 2. Physical and chemical factors: inhalation of cold air, dust, irritant gases, etc. can stimulate the trachea – bronchial mucosa causing acute injury and inflammatory reaction. 3. Allergic reaction: pollen, organic dust, animal fur and excreta and other sensitizers into the body can also lead to the occurrence of bronchial inflammation. 4.
