Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute inflammation can lead to fibrosis formation if there is significant tissue damage, abscess formation due to localized infection, progression to chronic inflammation if the acute response fails to resolve the issue, and resolution if the inflammation successfully eliminates the cause and repairs the tissue. Serous inflammation is a type of inflammation, not an outcome.
