Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response to an antigenic stimulus. 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. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the inflammatory response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the inflammatory response, the immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a defense response. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of a response to an external stimulus. Inflammation of prolonged duration (weeks or months) in which active inflammation, tissue destruction, and attempts at repair are proceeding simultaneously. Although it may follow acute inflammation, chronic inflammation frequently begins insidiously, as a low-grade, smoldering, often asymptomatic response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response to a non-antigenic stimulus.
