What is inflammation?
Inflammation is the initial response of the unspecific defense system versus aggressions against the body (the aggressions may be caused by infectious parasites, chemical contamination, trauma, physical agents like heat and fire, autoimmunity, etc.). During inflammation a series of unspecific leukocytes present in the circulation are attracted to the injury site in an attempt to destroy harmful agents and to isolate the affected region of the tissue.
