---
🧠 Concept Breakdown
- Acute inflammation is the body’s rapid response to injury or infection.
- Cardinal signs (Celsus + Virchow):
- Rubor (Redness)
- Calor (Heat)
- Tumor (Swelling)
- Dolor (Pain)
- Functio laesa (Loss of function)
- Mediators: Histamine, prostaglandins, bradykinin, cytokines
- Vascular changes: Vasodilation, increased permeability, leukocyte migration
---
⚠️ Caution for Students
- Don’t confuse tumor (swelling) with neoplastic tumor — context matters!
- Pallor and cyanosis are not signs of inflammation — common distractors.
- Know the sequence of events: vasodilation → permeability → exudation → neutrophil migration
---
🩺 Clinical Relevance
- Seen in infections, trauma, autoimmune conditions
- Understanding mediators helps in pharmacology (NSAIDs, steroids)
- Chronic inflammation leads to fibrosis, granulomas, and tissue damage
