Infection and injury are both primary triggers for the body's acute inflammatory response, as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Both conditions initiate similar biological defense mechanisms, including the recruitment of immune cells and the release of cytokines to promote healing and eliminate threats, as evidenced by [4], [5], and [6].
