Lecture 66 - Chronic Inflammation Flashcards
chronic inflammation is defined as
more than 3-5 days
what 4 things can happen when acute inflammation fails
- progression to chronic inflammation
- fibrosis
- increased cellularity
- abscess formation
what 3 factors influence the outcome of failed acute inflammation
- severity of tissue damage
- the ability of cells to regenerate
- biologic characteristics that caused injury
chronic inflammation occurs because
- acute inflammation fails
- recurrent/extensive acute inflammation/injury
- unique biochemical characteristics of the stimulus
what are the 5 mechanisms to chronic inflammation
- persistence/resistance to phagocytosis
- immune cells cannot reach agent
- inability to kill via phagocytosis or enzymes
- genetic dysfunction of immune
- unknown
pathogenic example of:
persistence/resistance to phagocytosis
mycobacterium
pathogenic example of:
immune cells cannot reach agent
staphylococcus
pathogenic example of:
inability to kill via phagocytosis or enzymes
plant material
pathogenic example of:
genetic dysfunction of immune response
autoimmunity
pathogenic example of:
unknown chronic inflammation
canine granulomatous meningoencephalitis
what bacteria cause chronic inflammation
mycobacterium or Rhodococcus equi
what viruses cause chronic inflammation
equine herpesvirus and porcine circovirus
what fungi cause chronic inflammation
Aspergillus, Blastomyces, Histoplasma
what protozoa/parasites cause chronic inflammation
habronema and leishmania
what are the processes of inflammation
- cellular infiltration
- fibroplasia
T/F: cellular infiltration and fibroplasia occur independently of one another
FALSE
what cells are part of the innate immune response
- monocyte/macrophage
- NK cell
- eosinophil
- mast cell
- dendritic cell
