| peritoneal exudate | A term most commonly used to describe the fluid drained from the peritoneal cavity some time after the injection of an irritant solution. For example: a standard method for obtaining neutrophil leucocytes is to inject intraperitoneally saline with glycogen (to activate complement) and drain off the leucocyte rich peritoneal exudate some hours later.

| exudate | <physiology> Material, such as fluid, cells or cellular debris, which has escaped from blood vessels and has been deposited in tissues or on tissue surfaces, usually as a result of inflammation. An exudate, in contrast to a transudate, is characterised by a high content of protein, cells or solid materials derived from cells. Compare: transudate. Origin: L. Exsudare = to sweat out (27 Jun 1999) |
| exudate cell | Leucocytes that enter tissues (exude from the blood vessels) during an inflammatory response. See: peritoneal exudate. (18 Nov 1997) |
| purulent | <microbiology> Consisting of or containing pus, associated with the formation of or caused by pus. Origin: L. Purulentus (18 Nov 1997) |
| purulent conjunctivitis | A violently acute inflammation of the conjunctiva, with copious pus and a marked tendency for corneal involvement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent cyclitis | Suppurative inflammation of the ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent encephalitis | Encephalitis of bacterial aetiology. Synonym: encephalitis pyogenica, purulent encephalitis, suppurative encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent inflammation | An acute exudative inflammation in which the accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes is sufficiently great that their enzymes cause liquefaction of the affected tissues, focally or diffusely; the purulent exudate is frequently termed pus, and consists of plasma and its constituents, end products of the enzymatic digestion of tissue, degenerated and necrotic cells and their debris, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and other white blood cells, the causal agent of the inflammation, etc. Synonym: suppurative inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent ophthalmia | Purulent conjunctivitis, usually of gonorrhoeal origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent pericarditis | Pericarditis, usually bacterial, with pus in the sac. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent pleurisy | Pleurisy with empyema. Synonym: suppurative pleurisy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent pneumonia | Pneumonia caused by an organism that produces pus, implying that there can be destruction of lung tissue with permanent changes; usually sputum contains pus. Staphylococci, haemolytic streptococci, and Friedlander's bacillus are typical causes, as opposed to Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is rarely a cause of purulent pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent retinitis | Purulent or septic retinitis resulting from the arrest of septic emboli in the retinal vessels. Synonym: purulent retinitis, septic retinitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purulent synovitis | Acute inflammation of synovial membranes, with purulent effusion into a joint, due to bacterial infection; the usual route of infection is hemic to the synovial tissue, causing destruction of the articular cartilage, and may become chronic, with sinus formation, osteomyelitis, deformity, and disability. Synonym: purulent synovitis, pyarthrosis, pyogenic arthritis, suppurative synovitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyperacute purulent conjunctivitis | Conjunctivitis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoea and marked by swollen congested conjunctiva, edematous eyelids, and a purulent discharge. (05 Mar 2000) |
