==Overview==
==[[Pleurisy overview|Overview]]==
'''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 [[lung]]s.  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.
