The recognition that the disease is actual within the pulmonary parenchyma and not in the pleural space, extrathoracic structures or the mediastinum is the first step.Clifford R. Berry, DVM, DACVRAdvanstar Communications Inc
Pulmonary Edema vs. Pleural Effusion vs. Pneumonia It’s easy to get pulmonary edema mixed up with some other lung conditions. Pleural effusion Unlike pulmonary edema, in which fluid collects inside your lungs, pleural effusion is when it builds up in the layers of tissue that line the outsid...
Pleural effusion, the most common pulmonary complication of acute AoD, is noted in 16% of cases at presentation (37); whereas large effusions may result from leaking of blood from the aorta into the pleural space, small effusions are typically a nonhemorrhagic exudate believed to be inflammatory...
Patients with acute pulmonary infarction have decreased excursion of the involved hemithorax, palpable or audible pleural friction rub, and even localized tenderness. Signs of pleural effusion, such as dullness to percussion and diminished breath sounds, may be present. Acute embolism without infarction ...
Pleural effusion: chest radiograph suggests moderate to large amounts of fluid; Bleeding: postoperative bloody drainage of more than 200 mL of fluid per hour and for 3 h; Arrhythmias: including atrial fibrillation, atrial/ventricular pre-systole, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachyc...
Of further interest was the associated pleural effusion with low glucose concentration, high total lipid content, and extremely high lactic acid dehydrogenase level. To the best of the author's knowledge, chronic lipid effusion and elevated lactic acid dehydrogenase have not been previously reported ...

less frequently asbestos exposed (58% vs 77%; p=0.01) but more often irradiated for lymphomas/leukemias and breast cancers (16% vs 6%; p=0.07); they presented less frequently with pleural effusion (77% vs 97%; p<0.0001), but more often with pleural nodules (39% vs 15%; p=0.0008)....
(characteristic appearance of variably sized cysts in a background of densely scarred lung tissue) is significant in PNTM patients; consolidation, miliary nodules, cavities, atelectasis, fibrothorax and mediastinal widening are more common in TB patients; and pleural effusion, pleural lesions, and ...
