Chronic Inflammation - Paraschou Flashcards
Types of chronic inflammation?
- Granulomatous
- Eosinophilic granuloma
- Progranulomatous
- Lymphocytic
4 main outcomes of inflammation:
- Resolution
- Healing by repair
- Abscess formation
- Chronic inflammation
Abscess formation is caused by ________
Bacteria mostly
________ is usually surrounded by a fibrous capsule
Abscess formation
What does an abscess consist of?
Purulent/ suppurative exudate
contains many neutrophils + pus
An abscess is a type of _______ necrosis
Liquefactive
An abscess can form within _____ days
a few
How do you treat an abscess?
Has to be lanced and drained!!
Antibiotics won’t work bc it can’t penetrate fibrous capsule
Why is a fibrous capsule formed around an abscess?
To wall off/isolate the exudate
An abscess on the lungs is called?
Suppurative pneumonia
Main cell type involved in abscess formation?
Neuts
What does an active-acute inflammation mean?
Both acute and chronic inflammation
When does chronic inflammation occur?
- When acute inflamm response fails to eliminate stimulus
- Repeated episodes of acute inflammation
- Due to mycobacterial infection
Examples of systemic mycoses that causes chronic inflammation?
- Cryptococcus
- Histoplasmosis
- Blastomycosis
Foreign bodies that can cause chronic inflammation?
- Grass seeds
- Splinters
- Suture material
- Injections
What intracellular bacteria can result in chronic inflammation?
- Mycobacteria spp
- Rhodococcus spp
What protozoa can result in chronic inflammation?
- Toxoplasma
- Leishmannia
What parasites can cause chronic inflammation?
- Toxocara
- Habronema larvae
Immune mediated diseases that can result in chronic inflammation?
- Hypersensitivity / allergic dermatitis
- Autoimmune diseases (ex: lupus)
How do bacteria, mycoses, and parasites cause chronic inflammation?
- Avoids phagocytosis
- Isolates or hides from IR in pus (Ex: Staph and streps)
What are examples of chronic inflammation caused by unresponsiveness to phagocytosis or enzymatic breakdown?
- Plant material
- Grass awns
- Silica dust
- Suture material
(foreign bodies)
Examples of chronic inflammation caused by an altered immediate and adaptive inflammatory response?
- Persistent neutropenia
- Autoimmune dz
- K9 GME
What is produced by macrophages that amplifies and prolongs inflammation?
Cytokines and as a result T cells
Macrophages secrete growth factors to begin repair: what are the repair mechanisms?
Fibroplasia, angiogenesis
A multinucleate giant cell with peripheral nuclei is called _________
Langhans
A multinucleate giant cell with central nuclei is called _________
Foreign body type
What multinucleate giant cell looks like a choco chip cookie?
Foreign body type
