Title

Content

Acute inflammation should be interpreted as an ordered vascular–cellular process: vascular changes slow flow and thereby facilitate margination, rolling, adhesion and leukocyte emigration.
Chronic inflammation is not simply prolonged acute inflammation; it combines mononuclear infiltration and continuing tissue destruction with simultaneous vascular proliferation, fibroplasia and collagen deposition.
Failure of resolution changes the pathological endpoint: minimal destruction permits resolution, substantial necrosis favours suppuration or abscess formation, and persistent organisms or extensive injury favour chronic inflammation.
Granuloma formation implies persistence of material that ordinary phagocytic clearance cannot readily eliminate, driving a type IV response with epithelioid macrophages, giant cells and surrounding T lymphocytes.
Caseation strengthens suspicion of tuberculosis, but granulomatous inflammation itself is not synonymous with tuberculosis because infective, foreign-body and inflammatory causes exist.
