Detailed explanation-1: -Possible symptoms include pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, and a dry, nonproductive cough. The chest pain associated with pleural effusion is caused by pleural inflammation of the parietal pleura resulting from movement-related friction between the two pleural surfaces. Pleuritic chest pain may be localized or referred.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dyspnea can appear in patients with acute pericarditis, presumably when pleuritic pain limits breathing, when there is a concomitant large pleural effusion, or when cardiac tamponade is accompanied by peripheral hypoperfusion and acidosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Types of Pleural Diseases Empyema: The accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity. This is a type of pleural effusion that is usually associated with pneumonia (an infection in the adjacent lung). The symptoms are those of the pneumonia (cough, fever) in addition to shortness of breath and impaired breathing.
