Acute inflammation is the initial physiological response to tissue damage, such as that caused by mechanical, thermal, electrical, irradiation, chemical, or infective insults. It can be acute (lasting for a few days) or chronic (in response to an ongoing and unresolved insult). Inflammation can develop into permanent tissue damage or fibrosis.
The outcome of acute inflammation can be:
See less1. **Complete resolution:** With total repair and destruction of the insult.
2. **Fibrosis and scar formation:** Occurs in cases of significant inflammation.
3. **Chronic inflammation:** From a persisting insult or failure of resolution.
4. **Formation of an abscess:** A localized collection of pus.
5. **Organization:** The replacement of inflamed tissue by granulation tissue and scar tissue.
