[Inflammation under the microscope].
The diagnosis of an inflammatory tissular reaction is usual. The microscopical study gives a classification of the pattern of modification, of acute or chronic type, and teds to yield some clues in favor of the etiology. Routinely we perform a quantification of inflammation and fibrosis in some well defined areas of pathology (liver biopsies for example).
