Study Notes
Cardinal Signs of Inflammation
- Heat is caused by increased blood flow and vasodilation
- Redness is caused by increased blood flow and vasodilation
- Swelling is caused by edema and increased vascular permeability
- Pain is caused by chemical mediators
Mediators of Inflammation
- Histamine is responsible for increased vascular permeability during inflammation
- Chemokines recruit and activate leukocytes during inflammation
- Prostaglandins are responsible for fever and pain during inflammation
- IL-6 induces fever during inflammation
- IL-6 induces the production of C-reactive protein as an acute-phase protein
Systemic Effects of Inflammation
- Leukocytosis is a systemic effect of inflammation, mediated by colony-stimulating factors
- Neutrophilia is commonly associated with bacterial infections
- Lymphocytosis is mediated by IL-12 and IFN-γ
- Eosinophilia is mediated by IL-5
- In severe bacterial infections (sepsis), TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are stimulated
- Prostaglandins and TNF-α induce fever as part of the systemic effects of inflammation
- The purpose of fever is to create an unfavorable environment for microbial growth and to activate the immune response
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
- A characteristic feature of DIC is the formation of microthrombi in small blood vessels
