Common features include: - Acute inflammation: Presence of neutrophils and exudate. - Chronic inflammation: Presence of lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibrosis. - Granuloma formation: Typically seen in infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. - Tissue necrosis: Often accompanied by the presence of bacterial colonies.
