Inflammation occurs when your body tries to protect itself from infection by foreign organisms, including bacteria and viruses. It involves several processes, including action by your white blood cells. The whole process is called an immune response. A short sharp immune reaction, such as a bee sting, is called an acute inflammatory response. Other immune responses can go on for some time and are called chronic inflammation.
