What are the signs and symptoms of pneumococcal pneumonia?

Suppurative inflammation -suppurative inflammation contains large amounts of purulent exudate (pus) and consist of primarily pmns (acute inflammation) which is seen around 24 hours. suppurative inflammation is also seen in an abscess.fibrinous inflammation is seen in more severe injuries resulting in greater vascular permeability allowing larger molecules like fibrinogen to escape from the vascular space. if this type of inflammation does not resolve, one can expect to see scarring or organization of the fibrinous exudate which is not completely degraded by fibrinolysis and removed by macrophages. remember the example of fibrinous pericarditis restricting myocardial function. see slide 95 (figure2-24b).serous inflammation is seen in association with blisters causes by burn and viral infections. there is a watery protein-poor fluid (effusion) usually seen in serous inflammation.in fibrino-purulent inflammation one would see both pmns and fibrin. this type of infllammation may be seen around 48 -72 hours when there may be an overlap between acute and chronic inflammation.
