Abstract:
Viral inflammation although rare, is not a well-known entity, nor it is studied as well as bacterial inflammation. Nevertheless, an understanding of viral inflammation leads to the application of appropriate management principles. Viral inflammation can present either as a local or regional and systemic manifestation. Local or regional manifestation is exemplified by viral incursion of different individual organs whereas viremia represents systemic spread of a virus. A brief description of viral inflammation would help clinicians to understand the scope of the problem and helps to formulate a management strategy. The article focuses on the occurrence of local and systemic manifestation of viral inflammation.
