Acute Inflammation in most cases, is a temporary condition triggered by an injury or infection. It is the body’s healing response to an immediate situation. This is normally a good thing since the body is responding appropriately to the conditions on hand.

Chronic Inflammation however, is damaging. It is the body’s long-term reaction to perceived threats and foreign bodies. The immune system fails to “turn off” and begins attacking healthy tissue and organs as displayed below.
