Study Notes
- Chronic inflammation is a condition where inflammation persists for months or years, either following acute inflammation or without it.
- Unlike acute inflammation, chronic inflammation is not characterized by the five signs of inflammation: redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function.
- Chronic inflammation is marked by the infiltration of mononuclear cells, including macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and other immune cells, into the affected tissue.
- Macrophages are the dominant cell type in chronic inflammation, producing substances that can cause tissue damage and fibrosis.
- Lymphocytes produce cytokines and contribute to the immune response in chronic inflammation.
- In chronic inflammation, fibroblasts proliferate and cause fibrosis, leading to structural destruction and replacement of damaged tissue.
- Granulomas, a special type of chronic inflammation, form in response to persistent inflammatory stimuli and can contain the injurious agent and attempt to eradicate it.
- Granulomas can be caused by persistent infections, such as tuberculosis, leprosy, and syphilis, or exposure to exogenous materials like asbestos and silica.
- Chronic inflammation is associated with systemic signs, including low-grade fever, weight loss, and anemia.
