What is a localized infection?
Localized infection describes what occurs when all infected tissue is maintained within the one area. If infected tissue broke away from original site of infection and travelled to other body parts, it would no longer be localized.
What connective tissue cell that would most likely increase its activity during an infection?
Macrophages are connective tissue cells that are part of the immune system and are likely to increase their activity during an infection. They function by engulfing and digesting pathogens to help eliminate the infection.
How does the presence of blood in a UTI indicate the severity of the infection?
The presence of blood in a urinary tract infection (UTI) can indicate a more severe infection because it may suggest that the infection has spread to the kidneys or other parts of the urinary tract. Blood in the urine, also known as hematuria, can be a sign of tissue damage and inflammation, which may require more aggressive treatment to prevent complications.
Does infection refer to inflammation of tissue due to invasion of pathogens?
Infection refers to the invasion and multiplication of pathogens within the body, often leading to tissue damage. Inflammation is one of the body's responses to infection, characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain at the site of infection.
What is a nonspecific defense reaction to tissue damage caused by injury or infection is known as?
Inflammation is a nonspecific defense reaction to tissue damage caused by injury or infection. It involves the body's immune response to fight off pathogens, clear away damaged cells, and promote tissue repair.
What bodily fluids can be tested to confirm a diagnosis of melioidosis?
P. pseudomallei can be cultured from samples of the patient's sputum, blood, or tissue fluid from abscesses.
Inflammation of bony tissue is what?
Inflammation of bony tissue is known as osteomyelitis. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection that can spread through the bloodstream or from nearby tissue. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, redness, and fever.
What causes caseous necrosis in lungs tissue?
Caseous necrosis is a type of cellular death in which the dead tissue is soft, white or yellow in appearance and sometimes smells bad. This can be caused by anything that kills a section of tissue, although it is more commonly associated with infection, particularly bacterial infection.
What can happen if diabetic foot infections are left untreated?
the bacterial infection can destroy skin, tissue, and bone or spread throughout the body.
What are the possible reasons for a bad smell associated with a mast cell tumor?
A bad smell associated with a mast cell tumor may be due to infection or necrosis (tissue death) within the tumor.
What is swelling and infection of soft tissue around in a nail?
Paronychia is swelling and infection of soft tissue around a nail.
What risks are associated with abdominoplasty?
bleeding wound infection delayed wound healing skin or fat necrosis (death) hematoma (collection of blood in a tissue) seroma (collection of serum in a tissue) seroma (collection of serum in a tissue) blood clots pulmonary embolism
Which condition involves tissue deat that is usually associated with a loss of circulation?
Gangrene is a condition that involves tissue death usually associated with a loss of circulation. It can be caused by factors such as infection, poor blood flow, or trauma, leading to the affected tissue becoming dark, discolored, and eventually dying. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and, in severe cases, surgical removal of the affected tissue.
A growth of tissue at the back of the throat which helps fight infection?
Your tonsil is a growth of tissue at the back of the throat which helps fight infection.
What is the most wide spread tissue of the body?
Areolar connective tissue
What connective tissue cell would most likely increase activity during an infection?
an infection would most likely increase activity in what tissue
What is a localized infection?
Localized infection describes what occurs when all infected tissue is maintained within the one area. If infected tissue broke away from original site of infection and travelled to other body parts, it would no longer be localized.
