exudate

Examples of exudate in the following topics:

• Inflammation

  • This is called exudate, a form of edema.
  • As exudate accumulates within the tissues, they become swollen.
  • The exudate may carry antimicrobial proteins and antibodies into the tissues, and stimulates lymphatic drainage.

• Pneumocystis Pneumonia

  • A lung biopsy would show thickened alveolar septa with fluffy eosinophilic exudate in the alveoli.
  • Both the thickened septa and the fluffy exudate contribute to dysfunctional diffusion capacity which is characteristic of this pneumonia.

• Campylobacter

  • The organism produces diffuse, bloody, edematous, and exudative enteritis.

• Blood Plasma

  • This is the principal cause of exudate edema, which is the swelling that indicates inflammation.

• Urinalysis

  • White blood cell casts – associated with acute interstitial nephritis, exudative glomerulonephritis, or severe pyelonephritis

• Sculpture in the Hellenistic Period

  • While the Nike of Samothrace exudes a sense of drama and the Venus de Milo a new level of feminine sexuality, other Greek sculptors explored new states of being.
  • Unlike earlier depicts of nude men, but in a similar manner to the Venus de Milo, the Barberini Faun seems to exude sexuality.

• Bacterial Eye Diseases

  • Bacteria such as Chlamydia trachomatis or Moraxella can cause a non-exudative but persistent conjunctivitis without much redness.

• Pericarditis

  • Pericarditis can be classified according to the composition of the inflammatory exudate, which is the fluid that accumulates around the heart.

• Chlamydia

  • Discharge, or the purulent exudate, is generally less viscous and lighter in color than for gonorrhea.

• Coccidiomycosis

  • The fungal infection can be demonstrated by microscopic detection of diagnostic cells in body fluids, exudates, sputum and biopsy-tissue.
