About this title

Synopsis

This scholarly introduction explains how inflammation, infection, and fever arise in living tissue and why they matter in medicine.

Originally part of a historic course from 1902, this edition surveys how the body responds to injury, infection, and fever. It traces the shift from early vascular ideas to the cellular view of inflammation, highlighting key concepts about tissue change, immunity, and the mechanisms behind common inflammatory processes.

The text discusses definitions of inflammation, the role of injury, and the limits of classical signs like heat and redness. It presents debates on whether inflammation is the simple response to damage or a local repair effort, and it links historical observations to modern cellular understanding.

• Foundational ideas about inflammation and its signs, and how clinicians describe it.
• How tissue cells, phagocytes, and other cells participate in inflammatory processes.
• Historical development from Hunter’s vascular view to Virchow’s cellular pathology.
• Early theories of immunity and the concept of anti-toxins and cellular receptors.

Ideal for readers of medical history, pathology, and the history of immunology who seek a clear, era-defining overview.
