The aim of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, repair the damaged tissue, and restore tissue function.

The mechanism of exudate formation during inflammation involves increased permeability of blood vessels, leading to the escape of protein-rich fluid from the blood vessels into the interstitial tissue.

An abscess is a localized collection of pus in a cavity formed by the breakdown of tissue.

The fate of an abscess can be either spontaneous drainage, surgical drainage, or formation of a chronic abscess with a fibrous capsule.

Non-suppurative inflammation, also known as chronic inflammation, is a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response that does not involve the formation of pus.
