Pleural Disease

Pleurisy (pleural infection) is an infection of the pleural cavity. The accumulation of pleural fluid in the pleural cavity is known as pleural effusion. The presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity is known as pneumothorax. The presence of blood in the pleural cavity is known as hem thorax. Pleural issues can be caused by a variety of factors. Pleurisy is most commonly caused by a viral infection. Congestive heart failure is the most common cause of pleural effusion. Pneumothorax is caused by lung disorders such as COPD, TB, and acute lung damage. The most prevalent cause of hem thorax is a chest injury. The goal of treatment is to remove fluid, air, or blood from the pleural space, as well as to relieve symptoms and address the underlying illness.
