DR RABIA RATHORE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR WEST MEDICAL WARD MAYO HOSPITAL/K.E.M.U 1 DEFINITION OF INFLAMMATION Inflammation is a defensive process that a living body initiates against local tissue damage. It takes the form of a complex reaction of blood vessels, certain plasma components and blood cells, and cellular and structural components of connective tissue. Terms ending in the suffix “–itis” denote inflammation 2 3 4 ETIOLOGY OF INFLAMMATION •Physical agents: •extreme temperatures, electric shock, radiation, mechanical injures, etc. •Chemical agents: •Products of metabolism, acids, alkalis, drugs, tissue necrosis •Biological agents: •Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi), parasites (helmints, insects), immune cells and complexes. 5 ACUTE INFLAMMATION 6 Causative agents - harmful bacteria or injury to tissue Major cells involved - mainly neutrophils, basophils (in the inflammatory response), and eosinophils (response to parasites and worms), and mononuclear cells (macrophages, monocytes) Primary mediators - eicosanoids, vasoactive amines Onset (when does the inflammation start) - straight away Duration - short-lived, only a few days Outcomes - the inflammation either gets better (resolution), develops into an abscess, or becomes a chronic inflammation. 7 Terminology used in systemic inflammation and sepsis Infection Invasion of normally sterile host tissue by microorganisms Bacteraemia Viable bacteria in blood 8 Terminology used in systemic inflammation and sepsis Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) The systemic inflammatory response to a variety of severe clinical insults. The response is manifested by two or more of the following: Temperature >38°C or <36°C Heart rate >90 beats/min Respiratory rate >20 breaths/min or PaCO2 <4.3 kPa White cell count >12 × 109/L, <4 × 109/L or >10% immature forms. 9 Terminology used in systemic inflammation and sepsis Sepsis SIRS resulting from documented infection. Severe sepsis Sepsis associated with organ dysfunction, hypoperfusion or hypotensionbut are not limited to, lactic acidosis, oliguria or an acute alteration in mental state. 10 Terminology used in systemic inflammation and sepsis Septic shock Severe sepsis with hypotension (systolic BP <90 mmHg or a reduction of >40 mmHg from baseline) in the absence of other causes for hypotension and despite adequate fluid resuscitation. Refractory shock Shock unresponsive to conventional therapy (intravenous fluids and inotropic/vasoactive agents) within 1 h. 11 Terminology used in systemic inflammation and sepsis Compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS) Release of anti-inflammatory mediators which downregulate the inflammatory response. If excessive, may lead to inappropriate immune hyporesponsiveness. 12 13 14 OUT COME OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION Favorable •Absorption, tissue repair (the most favorable outcome) •Organization – scar formation Unfavorable •Acute organ insufficiency •Abscess formation - pyonecrotic cavity •Persistence of inflammation and chronicity 15 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN : TRANSUDATE 1.Transparent liquid 2.Origin - congestion 3.Up to 3% protein 4.Isolated mesothelial cells, accidental single leukocytes and erythrocytes EXUDATE 1.Slightly not quiet clear liquid 2.Origin - inflammatory 3.3-5% protein 4.A small amount of leukocytes desquamated epithelium, mesothelium 16 EXUDATIVE INFLAMMATION General definition: Inflammations whose principal histologic findings include exudation of blood serum and extravasation of blood cells into the inflamed area. Classification: may be classified as follows according to the principal components of the exudate: •serous •catarrhal •mucus, serous, purulent, hemorrhagic •fibrinous •croupous and diphtheretic •purulent •abscess, phlegmon and empyema •hemorrhagic •putrefactive 17 SEROUS INFLAMMATION 18 SEROUS INFLAMMATION Definition: Exudative inflammation with exudate of fibrin-free serum. Examples: Inflammation of serous membranes such as the pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, and joints; Organ inflammation such as serous hepatitis, nephritis, myocarditis, encephalitis. 19 CASE SCENERIO NO:1 A 50 years old male presents in OPD with complaints of gradually increasing abdominal distension and pain abdomen.On examination the abdomen is protuberent, umblicus is everted with para umblical hernia ,prominent striae and veins seen and fluid thrill is present while shifting dullness cannot be elicited due to massive ascites. 20 21 What is the differential diagnosis? 22 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Chronic liver disease Abdominal Tuberculosis Hepatocellular carcinoma/Metastatic liver disease Congestive cardiac failure Chronic kidney disease 23 How will you investigate him? 24 Liver Function Test PT/APTT Ultrasound abdomen Renal Function Test ECG Alpha Fetoprotein Diagnostic Ascitic tap 25 CATARRHAL INFLAMMATION 26 CATARRHAL INFLAMMATION Definition: Exudative inflammation occurring exclusively on the mucous membranes of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts and producing a watery exudate of serum and mucus Subtypes: mucus (most frequent), serous, purulent, hemorrhagic Etiologic factors: — hypersensitivity reactions; — bacterial and viral tissue injury; — physical and chemical tissue injury. 27 EXAMPLE •Acute rhinitis (common cold); •Acute catarrhal bronchitis; •Enteritis. 28 CASE SCENERIO NO:2 A young girl is having tiredness, slight pyrexia, malaise and a sore nose and pharynx. Sneezing and profuse, watery nasal discharge followed by thick muco- purulent secretions which is there for a week. What is your differential diagnosis? 29 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Seasonal rhinitis Perennial rhinitis Perennial allergic rhinitis Perennial non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia. Vasomotor rhinitis 30 FIBRINOUS INFLAMMATION 31 FIBRINOUS INFLAMMATION Definition: Exudative inflammation with exudation of fibrinogen-containing serum that polymerizes to fibrin outside the blood vessels . Etiologic factors: — Infectious toxic tissue injury; — Tissue injury from physical trauma; — Chemical and toxic tissue injury; — Excretion of toxic metabolites (uremic toxins); — Ischemic tissue injury. 32 TYPES OF FIBRINOUS INFLAMMATION Fibrinous Parenchymal Inflammation Fibrinous Serosal Inflammation Fibrinous Mucosal Inflammation 33 FIBRINOUS PARENCHYMAL INFLAMMATION CASE SCENERIO:NO.3 A 65 years of male has of high grade fever and productive cough with copious amount of foul smelling sputum for 5 days ,now presented with complaints of hemoptysis.On examination breath sounds are reduced on left infra scapular region with a patch of broncial breathing and vocal resonance is increased. What is the differential diagnosis? 34 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Lobar Pneumonia Collapse of Peripheral bronchus fibrosis (localized) 35 How will you investigate? 36 ESR & BLOOD COMPLETE SPUTUM EXAMINATION 37 FIBRINOUS SEROSAL INFLAMMATION Definition: Exudative fibrinous inflammations of the serous membranes may occur as a reaction of the serosa to other underlying disorders (serositis) or in the presence of tissue injury occurring in the serosa (such as infarction). Example: Fibrinous pericarditis Fibrinous pleuritis 38 CASE SCENERIO NO:4 A middle aged school teacher has fever and a sharp central chest pain exacerbated by movement, respiration and lying down. It is typically relieved by sitting forward.Auscultation revealed a frictional pericardial rub occurring in three phases corresponding to atrial systole,ventricular systole and ventricular diastole. What is the diagnosis? 39 Acute pericarditis. 40 What are the causes of Acute Pericarditis? 41 42 FIBRINOUS MUCOSAL INFLAMMATION Definition: In fibrinous inflammations in the mucosa, the fibrinous exudation process is usually preceded by superficial necrosis. Types: •Croupous Type •Diphtheria Type 43 Croupous Type: Exudative inflammation in which a wide area of fibrinous exudate forms an easily removable pseudomembrane covering the necrosis, which is limited to the mucosal epithelium. Example: Diphtheric laryngotracheitis 44 45 Diphtheria Type : Exudative inflammation in which necrosis extending into the submucosa is covered by a wide area of fibrinous exudate in the form of an adhesive pseudomembrane that can only be forcibly removed.
