Which of the following statement about fibrinous exudate is FALSE ?

Correct answer: B. It has low protein content

  • A. It is associated with many types of severe inflammation
  • B. It has low protein content
  • C. It has fibrin precipitates
  • D. It induces connective tissue organization

Explanation

Fibrinous exudate is protein-rich because leaked fibrinogen polymerises into fibrin at the inflammatory site; it may later undergo organisation by fibroblasts and new vessels. Therefore, low protein content describes a transudate, not a fibrinous exudate.
