Is exudate a pus?
Purulent (pronounced “PYUR-uh-luhnt”) drainage (pus or exudate) is a symptom of infection. This thick, milky fluid oozes from a wound that isn't healing properly. It contains a mixture of dead cells and bacteria, as well as white blood cells, which rush to the site at the first sign of injury.Jan 19, 2024
