Chemical signals emitted by dead microorganisms and by dead cells attract leukocytes, macrophages and plasma cells that result in an <strong>inflammatory infiltrate<\/strong>, often accompannied by local edema and pain.<br \/>\nThe types of cells present in an inflammatory infiltrate vary greatly, depending mainly on:<br \/>\n&#8211; The agent that stimulated the reaction. The cell population can be very different depending on whether the reaction is against a bacterium, a protozoan, or a physical agent (e.g., heat radiation, i.e., a burn).<br \/>\n2 &#8211; The timing of its analysis. For example, a bacterial infection ensues a fast, acute response consisting primarily of neutrophils and probably macrophages and perhaps eosinophils. On a later stages these cells may disappear and    lymphocytes and plasma cells appear and may persist for variable periods of time.<br \/>\nThe image shows an inflammatory infiltrate (highlighted in pink) in an area of connective tissue beneath a stratified squamous epithelium.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div onclick>\n<div class=\"image-container\">\n<div class=\"extra\">\n<div class=\"extra\">\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-23-en-2.jpg \" onmouseover=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-23-en-MO.jpg'\" onmouseout=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-23-en-2'\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Inflammatory infiltrate.
