Q

3 main causes of chronic inflmation

A

1. Persistant infection; difficult to eradicate (mycobacteira, some viruses fungi, and parasites)
2. Hypersensitivity Diseases; diseases that are caused by excessive and inappropriate activation of the immune system (autoimmune & allergic diseases)
3. Prolongued exposre to toxic agents they can be endo or exogenous ex. silica inhaliation.
