Its main functions involve the elimination of initial causes of cell injury, clearing out the damaged tissues and initiating tissue repair. Infection by pathogens, physical injury, burns, trauma, stress and chemical irritants are some of its primary causes. Some common inflammatory disorders are autoinflammatory diseases, colitis, acne vulgaris, rheumatic fever, vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of inflammation and the recent researches in this subject. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Doctors, researchers and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
