The inflammatory response is the body's response to infection. After a pathogen enters the body and creates an infection, leukocytes rush to cite to kill off the bacteria. Inflammation results because of the puss that the body secretes to combat the bacteria. After the intruder is eliminated the body tries to heal the passage through which the pathogen entered, by closing it off and healing the skin.
