What it "dry" pleurisy?
Pleurisy is a disease characterized by inflammation of the pleural linings of the thoracic cavity. This inflammation can result in a condition called "dry pleurisy," which causes the client severe pain upon breathing. The cause of the pain is the loss of the lubricating quality of the intrapleural fluid. Adhesions may form that cause portions of the parietal pleurae to adhere to the visceral pleurae. Pleurisy may be unilateral or bilateral, and may cause excessive fluid (which is sometimes purulent) in the pleural space.
