IL-10 homológ) Infection of immunocompetent cells CHRONIC INFLAMMATION Chronic inflammation is more difficult to understand, because it is so variable. Seen here is chronic endometritis with lymphocytes and plasma cells in the endometrial stroma. In general, the inflammatory infiltrate of chronic inflammation consists mainly of mononuclear cells: lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages. Certain etiologic agents such as viruses are more likely to lead to chronic inflammation, as seen here in the lung of a patient with influenza A. Note also that the inflammatory infiltrates of chronic inflammation are more likely to be interstitial (within tissues) rather than exudative (above surfaces or in spaces) like acute inflammation.
