Acute inflammation is short lived and localized to the site of injury or infection. Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is unsuccessful, and may result in the formation of granulomas (e.g., with tuberculosis) and scarring (e.g., with hepatitis C viral infections and liver cirrhosis).

The hypothalamus regulates this process through mechanisms like vasoconstriction and shivering, while cooling occurs during a crisis phase through vasodilation and sweating. Although fever can enhance immune response, excessive heat may lead to tissue damage or become life-threatening, especially with bacterial superantigens.
