Line 14:
* In purulent inflammation, pus is the predominant feature.
−** Pus is an admixture of dead and dying neutrophils with necrotic cells and a pyogenic agent.
−*** Proteolytic enzymes released by the dying neutrophils lyse tissue cells to produce a fluid.
−* Colour varies depending upon the agent.
−** May be white, yellow, green or brown.
−* An abscess is a circumscribed sphere of pus surrounded by a pyogenic membrane.
−** The pyogenic membrane is composed of capillaries bringing neutrophils into the sphere.
−** This rapidly becomes enveloped by a fibrous tissue capsule.
−*** A local connective tissue response attempting to wall off the purulent irritant from nearby normal tissue.
