Study Notes
Acute Inflammation
- Acute inflammation is classified according to the presence or absence of pus.
- Types: Suppurative/Purulent and Non-Suppurative/Non-Purulent
- Pus is purulent, thick, turbid, yellowish inflammatory exudate.
Composition of Pus
- Large number of neutrophils and pus cells
- Liquefied necrotic material
- Bacteria
- Fluid exudates
Types of Acute Inflammation (Chart)
- Suppurative (Purulent) - Includes pus
- Localized - Abscess, Furuncle, Carbuncle
- Diffuse - Cellulitis, Suppurative appendicitis, Diffuse septic peritonitis
- Non-suppurative (Non-purulent) - No pus
- Serous - Excess clear fluid
- Fibrinous - Excess fibrin in fluid
- Serofibrinous - Excess fibrin and fluid
- Catarrhal - Excess mucus
- Pseudomembranous - Fibrinonecrotic
- Hemorrhagic - Blood vessel damage
- Necrotizing/gangrenous - Severe tissue damage
- Allergic
