Study Notes
- Acute inflammation is characterized by vascular changes, including vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, leading to edema and white blood cell recruitment.
- The stimuli for acute inflammation include infections, tissue damage, immune reactions, and chemical mediators.
- Infections, such as bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and microbial toxins, can cause tissue necrosis and inflammation.
- Immune reactions, including hypersensitivity reactions, can also trigger acute inflammation.
- Chemical mediators, such as histamine and cytokines, can cause vascular leakage and further contribute to inflammation.
- Physical agents, like ischemia, trauma, and thermal injury, can cause tissue damage and vascular leakage.
- Foreign bodies, like splinters, dirt, and sutures, can also trigger an inflammatory response.
- In chronic inflammation, the inflammatory response persists for a long duration and results in tissue destruction, repair, and fibrosis.
- Chronic inflammation can be caused by persistent injury or infection, prolonged exposure to toxins, and autoimmune diseases.
- Chronic inflammation is a common component in many diseases, including ulcers, tuberculosis, pulmonary silicosis, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis.
- Chronic inflammation tends to occur under certain conditions, including persistent organisms, repeated bouts of acute inflammation, and prolonged exposure to toxins.
