Cellular toxicosis can explain a significant part of acute or chronic inflammatory processes that occur with rapid or slow destruction of tissue cells. If, when a pathogen affects the body, cells die without their protein part being destroyed, the process is called cell lysis. Such consequences can be observed in allergies or infectious reactions when immunoglobulins bind
