What is Inflammation and How is it Identified Histologically?
Inflammation is a protective response to injury or infection that involves immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. Histologically, acute inflammation is characterized by the presence of neutrophils, edema, and vascular congestion. Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, features lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibrosis. These cellular patterns help in understanding the progression and chronicity of inflammatory diseases.
