1 Chapter 4 Inflammation and Infection Defense Mechanisms Three lines of defense protect the body against foreign invasion: Physical or surface barriers Inflammation Immune response Inflammation Non-specific cellular and vascular reaction to tissue Repels and destroys invader; cleans up debris to promote healing Requires blood supply Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 3 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 4 Inflammatory Process Signs and symptoms: Redness Heat Edema Pain Chronic Inflammation Last two weeks or longer Acute inflammation lasts less than 10 days Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 5 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 6 1

2 Inflammatory Exudates Appearance and amount of exudate (blood fluid) reveals acute or chronic condition Serous exudate is clear serum-like fluid Acute state of inflammation Skin blisters and cold sores Inflammatory Exudates Fibrinous exudate Indicates larger injury with severe inflammation Commonly called scab Strep throat or bacterial pneumonia forming a mesh-like lesion Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 7 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 8 Inflammatory Exudates Purulent exudate called pus Collection of pus is an abscess Accumulation of pus in body cavity is empyema Inflammatory Lesions Due to physical or pathologic injury Inflammatory lesions include: Abscesses Ulcers Cellulitis Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning.

3 Primary Union (First Intention) Involves approximating edges of wound Steps of primary healing: Forms scab 1 to 2 days, new capillaries begin to bridge gap between wound edges Primary Union (First Intention) Steps of primary healing: Fibroblast grows across deeper wound layers forming granulation tissue Scar forms Example of primary healing is surgical incision Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 13 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 14 Secondary Union (Secondary Intention) Larger, deeper wounds with more inflammation than primary union Need more capillaries, fibroblasts, and collagen Secondary Union (Secondary Intention) After a week, new soft red tissue called granulation tissue is produced Scar tissue is formed Healing time is dependent on size of wound Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 15 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 16 Delayed Wound Healing Delayed Wound Healing Debridement (washing or cutting away necrotic tissue and foreign material) may be necessary Factors affecting healing time: Age Size of wound Location Nutrition Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 17 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 18 3

4 Delayed Wound Healing Factors affecting healing time: Circulation Organism virulence Steroids Complications of Wound Healing Poor or excessive scar formation Dehiscence - separation of tissue margins Keloid - hard, raised scar Adhesions - fibrous bands of tissue that attach to surfaces of adjacent organs as scar tissue develops Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 19 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 20 Infection Invasion of microorganisms causing cell or tissue injury Pathogenic - microorganisms causing disease Opportunistic - normal flora become pathogenic under certain conditions Infection Conditions for flora to become pathogenic Microorganisms gain access to body through portal of entry Pathogen is resistant to defenses of host Number of invading microorganisms Condition of individual or host Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning.

5 Frequency and Types of Infection Bacteria Primary or secondary disease Staphylococcus is bacterium on skin Streptococcus live on skin and in throat Escherichia coli, Kelbsiella, Pseudomonas, Shigella, and Salmonella are common enteric bacteria Frequency and Types of Infection Viruses Smallest infective organism Must be visualized by electron microscope Cannot reproduce or live outside cell Viral infections are not easily treated Antibiotics do not kill a virus but help prevent secondary infections Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 25 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 26 Viruses Immunizations are effective in preventing many viral diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and smallpox Latent viruses lay dormant in cells and replicate and cause symptoms during times of stress Frequency and Types of Infection Fungi Microscopic plant-like organisms larger than bacteria Only few are pathogenic Types of infections: Tinea - skin Candida - superficial infection of skin and mucous membranes Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 27 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 28 Fungi Treated with antibiotics and antifungal medications Often difficult to cure May require long-term therapy Rickettsiae Microscopic organisms that are intermediate between bacteria and viruses Must live in host cell like a virus Spread by fleas, ticks, mites, and lice Most common infection: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 29 Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 30 5

6 Protozoa Single-celled microscopic organisms Found in soil; live on dead or decaying material Infection through bite of infected insect or ingestion of spores Malaria is most common disease Helminths Roundworms or flatworms Pinworms and tapeworms are most common Pinworms cause anal itching Tapeworms cause intestinal disease due to inadequately cooked meat Copyright 2006 by Thomson Delmar Learning.
