The movement of an immune cell in response to an external stimulus during an inflammatory response. The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages. The directed movement of a motile cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). The movement of a leukocyte in response to an external stimulus. The movement of a leukocyte within or between different tissues and organs of the body during an inflammatory response. The movement of a leukocyte within or between different tissues and organs of the body.
