INTRODUCTION
The term inflammation is derived from the Latin
word Inflammare, means burn. Any form of injury to
the human body can elicit a series of chemical changes in
the injured area. Earlier it was believed that inflammation
was contemplated as a single disease caused by
disturbances of body fluids. According to the modern
concept, inflammation is a healthy process resulting from
some disturbance or disease. The cardinal signs of
inflammation are heat, redness, swelling, pain and loss of
function. Inflammation usually involves a sequence of
events which can be categorized under three phases viz.
acute transient phase, delayed sub acute phase and
chronic proliferate phase. In the first phase, inflammatory
exudates develop due to enhanced vascular permeability
and leads to local edema. It is followed by the migration
of leukocytes and phagocytes from blood to vascular
tissues which are the second phase, in the third phase;
tissue degradation is followed by fibrosis. Inflammation
