[Reactivation of the algogenic component in experimental inflammation induced by histamine administration]
Abstract:
The action of i.v. histamine on human skin inflammation experimentally induced with carbon dioxide snow in man is described. Histamine was injected when the skin reaction was on the wane to determine its possible reactivation of inflammation. Complete recrudescence of erythralgia was noted (reappearance of pain and of erythralgic halo, with a fresh spread of secondary hyperalgesia). It is felt that histamine was responsible. Its arrival to the reaction site through microvessels in a state of increased permeability during the remission of inflammation may be assumed to promote the passage of chemical mediators in the preactive stage from the vascular to the interstitial sector, and thus to pave the way for their activation.

Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
