What Histological Changes are Induced by Endotoxins?
Endotoxins can cause several histological changes, including: 1. Inflammation: Characterized by the infiltration of immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. 2. Vascular Changes: Increased permeability and vasodilation, leading to tissue edema. 3. Cellular Damage: Direct cytotoxic effects on tissues, often resulting in necrosis or apoptosis.
