3.2.1. Definition

3.2.1.1. Inflammation is said to be chronic if it persists for weeks or months after the initial injur

3.2.2. Characterized by

3.2.2.1. Gradual onset and longer duration (days to year)

3.2.3. Causes

3.2.3.1. Progression from acute inflammation

3.2.3.1.1. it occurs due to presence of foreign material whether produced endogenously

3.2.3.2. Recurrent episodes of acute inflammation

3.2.3.2.1. A good example of this is chronic cholecystitis’s that is associated with the present of gallstones.

3.2.3.3. Chronic inflammation de novo

3.2.3.3.1. Many types of injury may produce a chronic inflammatory reaction from the start e.g

3.2.3.4. Chronic inflammation de novo

3.2.4. Types of chronic inflammation

3.2.4.1. Chronic non- specific inflammation

3.2.4.1.1. It usually follows acute inflammation chronic abscess. They are called non- specific because they show the same microscopic features

3.2.4.2. Chronic specific inflammation known as granuloma

3.2.4.2.1. All granuloma share the common microscopic features of chronic inflammation but each granuloma can be distinguished from other types by specific features e.g
