Inflammation Inflammation is the bodys first response to illness and irritation. It is a perfect response to an acute situation such as injury or infection. The aim is to remove the irritant, and begin the healing process. When something harmful or irritating affects a part of our body, there is a biological response to try to remove it, the signs and symptoms of inflammation, specifically acute inflammation, show that the body is trying to heal itself. Inflammation does not mean infection, even when an infection causes inflammation. Infection is caused by a bacterium, virus or fungus, while inflammation is the bodys response to it. So acute inflammation is a good thing - what about chronic inflammation?
