What diseases are associated with inflammation?
Several human diseases are inflammatory in nature, including asthma, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, tendonitis, bursitis, laryngitis, gingivitis, gastritis, otitis, celiac disease (gluten intolerance), diverticulitis (infection of the diverticula in the colon), and inflammatory bowel disease. Additionally, a number of chronic diseases have inflammatory components, such as atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and perhaps even Alzheimer's disease. The causes of several of these diseases are unknown, and the role of inflammation in disease pathogenesis is under investigation. For instance, it is known that adipose tissue secretes several inflammatory factors (adipocytokines) and that obesity is associated with macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue; however, the exact role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of obesity is currently unknown.
