1.2.4.4 Serous Inflammation:
Characterized by the excessive accumulation of non-viscous fluid, typically produced by
epithelial cells lining serous membranes or derived from blood plasma.These categories cover a wide range of triggers that can lead to an inflammatory response
in the body.[Cot20]
1.2.4 Inflammation patterns
Specific patterns of acute and chronic inflammation emerge in various conditions affecting
the body, such as superficial infections or bacterial-induced inflammation.Introduction to Inflammatory Diseases and Machine Learning Approaches 7
1.2.4.2 Fibrinous Inflammation:
This occurs when there is a significant increase in vascular permeability, allowing fibrin to
escape from the bloodstream.[VK17]
1.2.4.1 Granulomatous Inflammation:
This type is characterized by the formation of granulomas, which develop in response to
certain diseases, including tuberculosis, leprosy, sarcoidosis, and syphilis.The figure 1.4 represents Fibrinous Inflammation
Figure 1.4: Fibrinous Inflammation
1.2.4.3 Purulent Inflammation:
Marked by the production of large amounts of pus, this type of inflammation consists
of neutrophils, dead cells, and fluid.The figure 1.6 represents Serous Inflammation

1.2.4.5 Ulcerative Inflammation:
When inflammation occurs near an epithelial surface, it can lead to necrotic tissue loss,
exposing deeper layers.Biologic Agents: These are newer medications that specifically target inflammatory
pathways in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or Crohn's disease.Other Anti-inflammatory Medications:
o Colchicine - Primarily used for gout, it reduces inflammation associated with uric
acid crystals.This type of inflammation is commonly found in serous cavities, where
fibrin deposits can eventually lead to scarring between serous membranes, restricting their
function.o Fatigue and/or insomnia.2.3.4.1.2.2.3.4.2.4.5.
