Inflammation in Robbins can be studied under these core areas:
  1. Overview and terminology - inflammation, infection, repair, exudate, edema
  2. Acute inflammation - vascular changes, leukocyte recruitment, phagocytosis, mediators
  3. Chemical mediators - histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, cytokines, complement, nitric oxide
  4. Morphologic patterns - serous, fibrinous, suppurative, ulcerative inflammation
  5. Outcomes of acute inflammation - resolution, abscess, scarring, progression to chronic inflammation
  6. Chronic inflammation - mononuclear infiltrates, tissue destruction, repair and fibrosis
  7. Granulomatous inflammation - granuloma formation, tuberculosis, foreign-body granulomas
  8. Systemic effects - fever, acute-phase reactants, leukocytosis, sepsis and septic shock
  9. Leukocyte disorders and defects - adhesion defects, phagocyte defects, impaired microbial killing
  10. Clinicopathologic correlations - acute appendicitis, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, tuberculosis
At a high level, acute inflammation is a rapid vascular and cellular response that brings plasma proteins and leukocytes to sites of injury or infection. Chronic inflammation is prolonged, with macrophages and lymphocytes, continuing tissue damage, and simultaneous attempts at healing through fibrosis and angiogenesis. Granulomatous inflammation is a distinctive chronic pattern in which activated macrophages form granulomas, often in response to persistent pathogens or indigestible material.
