lümfotsütaalne

Lümfotsütaalne refers to a type of inflammation characterized by the presence of lymphocytes and plasma cells. These are both types of white blood cells, key components of the immune system. Lymphocytes are involved in adaptive immunity, while plasma cells are responsible for producing antibodies.

When an inflammatory process is described as lümfotsütaalne, it indicates that these specific types of cells are the predominant infiltrates at the site of inflammation. This pattern of inflammation is often seen in chronic conditions and can be associated with viral infections, autoimmune diseases, or certain allergic reactions. The presence of lymphocytes and plasma cells suggests a specific immune response is occurring.

Diagnostically, identifying a lümfotsütaalne inflammatory pattern is important for determining the underlying cause of a condition. For example, it might be observed in biopsies of affected tissues in diseases like chronic gastritis, chronic hepatitis, or certain skin conditions. The specific context and location of this type of inflammation help clinicians narrow down the potential diagnoses and guide treatment strategies. It represents a cellular response to a persistent or recurring insult.
