How is Chronic Inflammation Diagnosed Histologically?
Histological diagnosis of chronic inflammation involves several techniques:
Biopsy: A sample of tissue is taken from the affected area and examined microscopically. Histochemical Staining: Techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining are used to identify cells and structures within tissues. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissues, helping to identify the types of cells involved in the inflammatory response.
