Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erythema, or redness, is caused by vasodilatation, which increases blood flow to the area and results in a reddish appearance. This is a common characteristic of inflammation. Increased capillary permeability can also contribute to edema (swelling) in the area, but it does not directly cause erythema. Irritation of sensory nerve endings by histamine can cause itching or pain, but not erythema. Increased leukocytes in the area may contribute to inflammation and the immune response, but do not directly cause erythema.
