What are Common Histological Features of Infected Tissues?
Histological features of infected tissues often include:
Inflammation: The body's response to infection, characterized by the presence of immune cells like neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages. Necrosis: Tissue death caused by the destructive effects of the pathogen or the immune response. Edema: Accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces due to increased vascular permeability. Granulomas: Aggregates of macrophages formed in response to chronic infections such as tuberculosis. Abscesses: Pockets of pus formed due to localized infections.
