| | Inflammation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Inflammation is characterized by the following quintet: redness (rubor), heat (calor), swelling (tumor), pain (dolor) and dysfunction of the organs involved (functio laesa). | | | However, some conditions such as asthma do not follow this convention. | | | It has little direct bearing on clinical care. |
