Inflammatory cells, also known as inflammatory cells, are cells involved in the inflammatory response.
Common inflammatory cells include neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, etc. In different infectious diseases, as well as in the pathophysiologic process of inflammatory response, the proportion of various inflammatory cells varies.
1. Neutrophils: Bacterial infections usually show abnormal inflammatory cell indicators, mainly elevated neutrophils. When pathogenic infections occur, neutrophils are often the early inflammatory cells.
2. monocyte macrophage: an important cell in non-specific immune defense, with phagocytosis of pathogens, the role of antigen presentation, can promote other inflammatory cells to rapidly identify pathogenic microorganisms to participate in the inflammatory response process.
3. Lymphocytes: Abnormalities in lymphocyte-based indicators usually suggest the possibility of viral infection, as well as the possibility of chronic infection, and are generally late in the inflammatory process.
In addition, there are a variety of inflammatory cells, such as eosinophils, basophils, etc., which participate in the process of inflammation and play an important role in the body’s defense.
