Inflammation
An important physiological reaction which
occurs in response to a wide variety of
injurious agents (e.g. bacterial infection or
physical trauma) ultimately aiming to
perform the dual function of limiting damage
and promoting tissue repair
(Scull et al, 2010)

The outcome of inflammation

(Lister et at, 2007)

Cardinal sign
1.Rubor (redness)
Due to vessel dilatation and increased blood flow.
2. Calor (heat)
Due to vessel dilatation and increased blood flow.
3.Dolor (pain)
Due to combination of :
Pressure on nervus ending by swelling
Direct effect from mediator inflammation released
in inflammation response.
5

4.Tumor (swelling)
Due to accumulation of exudate
5. Functio laesa (loss of function)

(Kahn MA and Solomon LW, 2007)

Systemic Manifestation of Inflammation

Clinical manifestation
1. Fever (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-)
2. Chills
3. Malaise
4. Somnolent
5. Anorexia
6. Increased pulse and blood pressure
(Kumar et at, 2005)

Laboratory findings
1.Leukocytosis (IL-1, TNF-)
2.Leukopenia (ex:thypoid fever, viral
infection)
3.Increased acute phase protein (ex: CRP)

Acute Inflammation

Duration

Main characteristics

Chronic Inflammation

Short duration (minutes,

Longer duration (weeks,
several hours, a few days) months)

Edema
Emigration of leukocytes
(especially neutrophils)

The presence of
lymphocytes and
macrophages
Proliferation of blood
vessels
Fibrosis
Tissue necrosis

(Kumar et at, 2005)

Acute Inflammation
Three major events
1.Changed in vascular caliber that leads in
an increase in blood flow.
2.Increased vascular permeability that cause
vascular leakage.
3.Leukocyte extravasation and phagocytosis

Leukocyte extravasation

Step:
(Kumar et at, 2005)
1.Margination, rolling, and adhesion
2.Diapedesis
3.Migration in interstitial tissue toward
1 chemotactic stimulus

Chemical mediators of Inflammation

(Kumar et at, 2005)

Arachidonic Acid Pathway

AA is 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid

(Kumar et at, 2005)
Source: dietary diet or by conversion from linoleic acid
Release from membrane phospholipids by: mechanical,chemical, physical
stimuli or by other mediatos

Cytokines in inflammation
Cytokines:
Protein produce by many type of cells (especially activated lymphocytes and
macrophages) that modulate the function of other cell types.

Leukocyte induce tissue injury

Leukocyte release product into extracellular sapce which can caused endothelial
injury and tissue damage.
The product released by leukocyte:
lysosomal enzyme, oxygen derived active metabolites, and product of archidonic
acid metabolism (prostaglandins and leukotrienes)

(Kumar et at, 2005)

Treatment of Inflammation
1.Eliminate the source of inflammation
2.Inhibit mediator of inflammation
a.Glucocorticoids (steroid)
Down regulate specific target gene (COX-2,
gene pro-inflammation(Ristimki,2004) )
Up-regulate genes that encode potent anti
inflammatory protein ex: lipocortin 1
b. NSAID

Chronic inflammation
Prolonged duration of inflammation in which active
inflammation, tissue destruction, and tissue
repairing are proceeding simultaneously
Causes:
1.Persistent infections (tubercle bacilli, treponema
pallidum)
2.Prolonged exposure to potentially toxic agents
(exogenous:silica; endogenous: toxic plasma lipid
components)
3.Autoimmunity:rhematoid arthritis,lupus
erythematosus)

Histological features

Kumar et at, 2005

1. Infiltration of mononuclear cells (macrophages, lymphocytes, and

plasma cells).
2. Tissue destruction.
3. Connective tissue replacement of damaged tissue, angiogenesis, and
2
fibrosis.

Cells in chronic inflammation

1. Macrophage (Kupffer cells in liver,
alveolar macrophages in lungs)
2. Lymphocytes (T and B)
3. Mast cells
4. Eosinophils

Specific pattern of chronic inflammation

Granulomatous inflammation
Predominant cell type is an activated macrophage with a modified epithelial-like
appearance.
(ex: tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, leprosy, syphilis)
Granuloma:
A focal area of granulomatous inflammation, consists of a microscopic aggregation
of macrophages that are transformed into eptithelium-like cells surrounded by a colar
of mononuclear leukocytes principally lymphocytes and occasionally plasma cells.

Local infection
An infection that is limited to a small area (a certain site
or focus) of the body.
Example: pneumonia, urinary tract or bladder infections,
appendicitis, and skin infections.

Skin abscess

Acute appendicitis
