[Allergic inflammation].

Current ideas of allergic inflammation reflected in the concept of immune inflammation are described. This concept considers immune inflammation to be an immune response mediated by a certain immunity reaction which gives the inflammation a number of qualitative and quantitative differences. The nature of the differences allows allergic (immune) inflammation to be evaluated as a biologically expedient type of defence-adaptative reaction in which the inflammatory response is optimally expressed owing to the participation of immunological mechanisms.
