Inflammatory Process
1- infection gets into the dermis of the skin. This is the initiating cause
2 - Release of inflammatory mediators
- The damaged cells from the invasion of the bacteria release inflammatory mediators. These include Histamine, Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Cytokines.
- These cause Vasodilation which creates the redness around the infected area, increase vascular permeability and creates the pain the person would feel.
- The Cytokines released cause the fever like symptoms that can be felt and malaise.
- Bradykinins and Prostaglandins cause pain.
- The Cytokines released cause the fever like symptoms that can be felt and malaise.

3- The vascular response
- Vasodilation occurs increasing blood supply.
- This causes erythema and the warmth felt.
- Exudate is squeezed out of the blood vessels and accumulates in the tissues.
- This causes the swelling
- Exudate dilutes toxins and plasma proteins help limit infection.
- Complement is activated and directly destroys bacteria.
- Exudate carries bacteria, cell debris and immune cells to lymph vessels
- Vasodilation occurs increasing blood supply.
4- The cellular response
- Macrophages have the ability to ingest microorganisms (phagocytosis)
- Causes the macrophage to release Cytokines that cause fever.
