Fasciitis

In medicine, fasciitis ( /ˌfæʃiˈaɪtɪs/) refers to an inflammation of the fascia. In particular, it often refers to one of the following diseases:

  • Necrotizing fasciitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Eosinophilic fasciitis
  • Paraneoplastic fasciitis

Inflammation
Acute
Plasma derived mediators Bradykinin · complement (C3, C5a, MAC) · coagulation (Factor XII, Plasmin, Thrombin)
Cell derived mediators preformed: Lysosome granules · vasoactive amines (Histamine, Serotonin)
synthesized on demand: cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1) · eicosanoids (Leukotriene B4, Prostaglandins) · Nitric oxide · Kinins
Chronic Macrophage · Epithelioid cell · Giant cell · Granuloma
Processes Traditional: Rubor · Calor · Tumor · Dolor (pain) · Functio laesa
Modern: Acute-phase reaction/Fever · Vasodilation · Increased vascular permeability · Exudate · Leukocyte extravasation · Chemotaxis
