Definition of Granulomatous Inflammation
Distinctive pattern of chronic inflammation characterized by aggregates of activated macrophages with scattered lymphocytes [21].
Granuloma Setting 1 Cause
Persistent T-cell responses to certain microbes [21].
Cytokines derived from which cell type are responsible for chronic macrophage activation?
T cell–derived cytokines [21].
Example Microbe causing Granuloma (1)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis [21].
Example Microbe causing Granuloma (2)
T. pallidum (syphilis) [21].
Example Microbe causing Granuloma (3)
Fungi [21].
Granuloma Setting 2 Cause (Example)
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (e.g., Crohn disease) [21].
Granuloma Setting 3 Cause
Foreign body granulomas [21].
Foreign body granulomas are a response to…
Relatively inert foreign bodies (e.g., suture or splinter) [22].
Granuloma defense function
Effectively “walls off” the offending agent [22].
