+===[[Purulent Inflammation]]===
-* 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.
