Fibrinous inflammation is an acute inflammation of the serous membranes, accompanied by the deposition of fibrin on the surface of the affected tissues.
Characteristic features:
- Increased body temperature
- Pain in the affected area
- The presence of fibrinous deposits on the serous membranes
- Increased pain when moving due to friction of fibrinous deposits
Reasons for development:
- Infectious diseases (pneumonia, meningitis)
- Injuries to the serous membranes
- Tumor processes
- Poisoning
Diagnosis is based on analysis of the clinical picture, laboratory and instrumental research data.
Treatment:
- Antibacterial therapy
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Drainage of cavities with discharge
- Symptomatic therapy
The prognosis depends on the cause of development and timeliness of treatment. With adequate therapy, fibrinous inflammation usually ends in recovery.
