Other granulomatous disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue - what does this mean
Other granulomatous disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue occur due to an abnormal immune response to an infection or other antigenic stimulus, leading to the formation of granulomas in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. these granulomas are composed of macrophages, lymphocytes, and other inflammatory cells, and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including redness, swelling, and itching.
What happens during the disease - other granulomatous disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue
Other granulomatous disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue are a group of disorders characterized by the formation of granulomas, which are collections of immune cells formed in response to an infection or foreign body. these disorders can be caused by a variety of infectious agents such as fungi, bacteria, and parasites, as well as non-infectious causes such as foreign bodies or autoimmune disorders. the exact pathogenesis of these disorders is not fully understood, but it is believed that the granulomas form as a result of an overactive immune response to the infectious or foreign agent. this excessive immune response can lead to the development of chronic inflammation, which can cause tissue damage and scarring.
