[Morphological and morphogenetic characteristics of erysipelas inflammation].

Literature information on morphology and morphogenesis of erysipelas inflammation is analysed in the light of macroscopic, microscopic and histochemical data. Alterations of the epidermis and derma (epidermocytes, fibroblasts, macrophages, plasmocytes and labrocytes) in the foci of inflammation are described in detail. Deficiency of the local mechanisms plays a leading role in chronization of the disease. A pathogenetic role of circulating and tissue associated immune complexes is shown. It is claimed that further study of skin parenchymatous and stromal component and their interaction in both focus of inflammation and outside of it may help in revealing specific parts of erysipelas inflammation pathogenesis.
