Årsaker til rosen

Erysipelas skyldes en infeksjon med bakterier som trenger gjennom huden på grunn av skade (rift, sprekk) eller sykdom i huden. Bakteriene sprer seg så under hudoverflaten.

Vanligvis skyldes infeksjonen en bakterietype som kalles streptokokker, men den kan av og til skyldes stafylokokker.
