Inflammation

Inflammation is the adaptive response to various stimuli (toxins, viruses, bacteria, ischemia, or necrotic tissue, trauma ...) to which we are exposed ⁽¹⁾.

In addition, inflammation may develop as a result of immune dysregulation in autoimmune or malignant disorders such as rheumatologic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease... ⁽²⁾.

The recent studies for immune response to SARS-CoV-2 have shown that the critical point where progression of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ensues appears to center on loss of the immune regulation between protective and altered responses due to exacerbation of the inflammatory components ⁽³⁾.

Other diseases in which inflammation is involved: malignant tumours and atherosclerotic plaques, alzheimer, pulmonary disease, periodontitis, age and in psychiatric disorders including major depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder ^(5-8).
