Inflammation

Inflammation is the so-called "inflammation", which is a basic pathological process that is mainly defensive response that occurs when biological tissues are stimulated by certain stimuli such as trauma and infection. The local manifestations of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, pain, and dysfunction. It is also accompanied by systemic reactions such as fever and changes in peripheral white blood cell counts. In general, inflammation is beneficial and is the body's automatic defense response (although patients may feel discomfort such as pain). But sometimes, inflammation is also harmful, such as attacks on the human body's own tissue, inflammation that occurs in transparent tissue, and so on.
