---

🧠 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
