Pleurisy Fibrinous

Story

Fibrinous pleurisy is a form of inflammation of the pleura, which is characterized by the formation of a fibrin clot. This type of pleurisy is a fairly rare form of pleurisy (no more than 5% of all cases of pleuritic inflammation) and is usually associated with high temperature, fever and chest pain. This inflammation usually develops as a result of infection, stress, or autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. As a result of inflammation in the pleura, strong adhesions form between the organ and the tissue of the chest wall. When these adhesions form, they can begin to obstruct the movement of air and fluids in the chest cavities, which can lead to limited breathing. This narrowing can cause serious problems for the patient, leading to breathing problems and heart failure in the presence of severe forms of pleural fibrosis.

Clinical signs

Some symptoms that may be experienced include: * Chest pain, especially when breathing deeply * Muffled sound when breathing * Stiff or tender ribs * Chills or fever * Blood in sputum or vomit (rare)

The likelihood of developing fibrinous pleurisy increases in people who have had cancer, tuberculosis infection, pneumonia, or pneumococcal abscess. However, the most common cause of this disease is bronchial asthma, a disease that leads to obstruction of the bronchi and pulmonary alveoli caused by damage to the airways and collateral vessels. Pleural sclerosis can also be caused by various toxic substances such as arsenic and amphetamine. Some rare causes of fibrinous pleurisy include systemic lupus erythematosus.

Pleural sutures can appear in two places - on the side of the diaphragm (isolated), or along the costophrenic sinuses (activated). About half of cases of fibrinous placenta occur together with dry pleural effusion and air. Much less often, pleural nodules can be detected only in cases where there is a massive formation of polyps or a sheet of fibroblasts trapped in the air.

The most common symptoms are chest pain and a feeling of tightness in the diaphragm. Thrombosis, and sometimes infection of the pleural cavity, often occurs after chest trauma or previous serious lung disease. There is also usually obvious shortness of breath, bronchophony and other similar changes indicating loss of air. There is almost always the appearance of fever and malaise, while weight loss and blood clots in the wet
