Under what three conditions do you get resolution?
- the injury is limited or short lived
- there has been minimal tissue destruction
- the tissue is capable of regeneration
Under what two conditions do you get scarring?
- inflammation affects tissues that cannot regenerate
- there has been substantial tissue destructiion
When does abscess formation occur?
In the setting of certain pyogenic bacterial or fungal infections
What three things is chronic inflammation characterized by?
