The hallmarks of inflammation are heat, redness, pain, and swelling (edema). These are caused by a combination of vasodilation (causing redness and heat), increased vascular permeability and the consequent infiltration of fluid and leukocytes from the blood into the infected site (causing swelling, and also pain as a result of the increased pressure on local nerve endings).
