Pleurisy, also known as pleuritis or pleural inflammation, is a disease state in which there is inflammation of the pleura, the lining of the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs. A symptom associated with pleurisy or pleuritus is pleuritic chest pain. Pleuritic chest pain is defined as a sharp pain on either inspiration or expiration. Pleurisy can be caused by a variety of infectious and non-infectious causes.

Associated Symptoms

• Fever
• Cough
• Chills
• Shortness of breath
• Weight loss
• Poor appetite
• Sharp chest pain with breathing. Pain can limit the movement on the side of the chest with pleurisy.
• Rapid shallow breaths
• Inability to take a deep breath
• Itching in sites on the back (near the site of the lungs, but no visible rashes)
• Dizziness
