Detailed explanation-1: -Conditions that are associated with a lymphohistiocytic inflammatory cell infiltrate include drug reactions, viral infections and post-viral reactions, HIV dermatoses, and leprosy24, 25 (fig 6).
Detailed explanation-2: -Macrophages. Macrophages are the major phagocytic cell in chronic inflammation, acting to engulf and destroy foreign material and/or pathogens. They are derived from monocytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The beginning of the inflammatory phase is characterized by the release of proinflammatory molecules by the platelets, forming the hemostasis clot and damaged host cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Clinically apparent tissue inflammation during viral infection attests to an excessive influx of leukocytes, and activation of tissue-resident leukocytes. Systemic inflammation reflects an excessive activation of circulating leukocytes, particularly in response to viremia.
