Acute Inflammation • Cardinal signs • Red (rubor) • Swelling (tumor) • Warm (calor) • Tender (dolor) • Loss of function (functio laesa)
NeutrophilsPolymorphonuclear Lekocytes (PMN) • Margination • Pavementing • Adhesion • Complementary adhesion molecules on leukocytes and endothelial cells
Emigration & Chemotaxis Mediators • Bacterial products - LPS • Complement derivatives - C5a • Arachidonic acid derivatives • leukotriene B4 • Cytokines - IL-8
Emigration & Chemotaxis Mediators Neutrophil Chemotaxis in vitro
Emigration & Chemotaxis Defects • WBC defects - • Chediak-Higashi Syndrome • Diabetes mellitus • Chemotactic factor defects • C5 or immunoglobulin deficiency • Serum chemotaxis inhibitors • C5 inactivators - in cirrhosis, sarcoidosis, and other diseases • WBC locomotion inhibitors • Chloroquine, cancer and other chronic diseases
Phagocytosis & Degranulation • Phagocytosis requires three distinct steps • Recognition • Attachment • Engulfment
Recognition & Attachment • Opsoninzation • Opsonins • Fc fragment of IgG • C3b • Mannose-binding protein (produced in the liver) • Covers the surface of microorganisms and is recognized by neutrophils and macrophages
Activation and Destruction (killing) • Oxygen dependent killing • myeloperoxidase requires hydrogen peroxide and halide (e.g., Cl-) to produce HOCl • Hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ion without myeloperoxidase will generate OH free radical
Chemical Mediators of InflammationPreformed & Newly Synthesized
Noninflammatory and Inflammatory Conditions • Transudate - fluid with low protein content and a specific gravity <1.012 • Exudate - inflammatory extracellular fluid composed of plasma proteins, principally albumin, cells and cellular debris, and a specific gravity >1.020
Noninflammatory and Inflammatory Conditions • Anasarca - edema which is severe and generalized • Abscess - localized collections of pus caused by suppuration buried in a tissue, organ, or confined space • Cellulitis - spreading suppurations in subcutaneous tissue
Types of Exudates • Serous - blister in thermal burn • Fibrinous - uremic pericarditis, viral/chemical pneumonitis, idiopathic • Purulent - meningococcal meningitis • Eosinophilic - IgE mediated - asthma & parasitic infection • Hemorrhagic - rickettsial • Pseudomembranous- diptheria & pseudomembranous enterocolitis
