218
Pyogenic bacteria that causes purulence:
1. Staphylococci
2. Streptococci (especially S. pyogenes, S. pneumoniae)
3. E. coli
4. Neisseriae (Meningococci, Gonococci)
219
This type of inflammation is manifested by the presence of large amounts of purulent exudate (pus) consisting of neutrophils, necrotic cells, and
edema fluid.
Suppurative/Purulent inflammation
220
These are focal collections of pus that may be caused by the seeding of pyogenic organisms into a tissue or by secondary infections of necrotic foci
Abscess
221
It is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an organ or tissue that is produced by necrosis of cells and sloughing (shedding) of inflammatory necrotic tissue.
Ulcer
222
With regards to the type of exudate, this inflammation is characterized by a large number of red blood cells that leave by diapedesis. The blood may exude from the body surface or nearby tissue.
Hemorrhagic inflammation
223
Occurrence of hemorrhagic inflammation include:
1. Septicemic diseases (ex: Anthrax, Pasteurellosis)
2. Hemorrhagic gastritis and enteritis
3. Lungs microscopic appearance (free RBC, serum, fibrin, and leukocytes)
224
Gross appearance of hemorrhagic inflammation include:
1. Blood-colored fluid or semi-fluid usually clotted and gelatinous
2. Streaked (vary in color and consistency)
3. Deep red inflamed surface
4. In hemorrhagic enteritis, feces are black in color (except when hemorrhagic inflammation is present in the last part of the intestine)
5. In the lungs, blood is foamy
225
Causes of hemorrhagic inflammation include:
1. Organisms of high virulence (Ex: Leptospira, and virus of infectious of hepatitis)
2. Poisonous chemicals (ex: phenol, arsenic, and phosphorus)
226
With regards to the type of exudate, this inflammation has a presence of mucus exudate. The latter comes from the epithelial mucous glands or from goblet cells. It can result in a thick exudate of mucus and white blood cells. It is caused by the swelling of the mucous membranes in the head in response to an infection (common cold).
Catarrhal inflammation
227
Examples of infection in accordance to catarrhal inflammation:
- common colds
- chesty cough
- adenoids
- middle ear
- sinus
- tonsil
228
A cardinal sign, due to arteriolar and capillary dilatation with an increased rate of blood flow towards the site of injury. It shows "redness".
Rubor
229
A cardinal sign, due to an increase in capillary permeability causing extravasation of blood fluid. It shows "swelling".
Tumor
230
A cardinal sign, due to transfer of internal heat to the surface or site of injury brought about by an increased blood content (hyperemia). It shows "heat".
Calor
231
A cardinal sign, due to pressure upon the sensory nerve by the exudates/tumor resulting from the release of bradykinin and PGE2. It shows "pain".
Dolor
232
A cardinal sign, due to the destruction of the functioning units of the tissue. It shows "diminished function".
Function laesa
233
Nomenclature of common types of inflammation:
1. Appendix - appendicitis
2. Fallopian tube - salpingitis
3. Pericardium - pericarditis
4. Pleura - pleuritis
5. Subcutaneous tissue - cellulitis
6. Meninges - meningitis
7. Arteries - arteritis
234
It is a type of inflammation of prolonged duration (weeks to months to years) in which active inflammation, tissue injury, and healing proceed
simultaneously.
Chronic inflammation
235
Subdivision of Chronic inflammation:
1. Non-specific chronic inflammation
2. Specific (primary) chronic inflammation
3. Granulomatous inflammation
236
A subdivision of chronic inflammation characterized by arises following non-resolution of acute inflammation
Non-specific chronic inflammation
237
A subdivision of chronic inflammation characterized by arises de novo in response to certain types of injurious agents
Specific (primary) chronic inflammation
238
A subdivision of chronic inflammation characterized by a subset of specific inflammation wherein there is a presence of granuloma
Granulomatous inflammation
239
Factors that impair the healing of non-specific chronic inflammation
1. Poor nutrition
2. Immunosuppression
3. Persistent tissue damage infection
4. retained foreign material
5. Sequestered dead tissue
6. Poor blood supply
240
Factors that aid the healing of chronic inflammation:
1. Administration of appropriate antibiotics
2. Surgical removal of foreign material
3. Surgical removal of sequestered dead tissue
4. General attempts to improve nutrition
