When your body is invaded by any virus, bacteria or even a splinter, it will respond with general inflammatory response chemicals These chemicals include histamine (mostly secreted by basophils, white blood cells found in connective tissue), kinins, prostaglandins (PGs), and complement.

Vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels), stimulated by histamine and other chemicals, increases blood supply to the damaged area. This causes redness and an increase in local temperature. All of these responses are harmful to the pathogens causing the infection.
