Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. [icd9data.com]

We report a 22-year-old woman who presented to the Emergency Medicine Department of the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2017 with an eight-day history of fever associated with coughing, chills and rigors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A pleural effusion may cause you to cough or feel short of breath. You may breathe faster than usual. You may have mild to severe chest pain that starts or gets worse when you breathe in or cough. [drugs.com]

Therapeutic thoracocentesis with nearly complete removal of the fluid collection alleviates dyspnoea and cough in most circumstances. [bestpractice.bmj.com]

CASE PRESENTATION: An 84-year-old Japanese non-smoking woman with a history of lung cancer, treated by surgery, was admitted due to gradual worsening of dyspnea that had occurred over the previous month. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If dyspnea caused by malignant pleural effusion is relieved by thoracentesis but fluid and dyspnea redevelop, chronic (intermittent) drainage or pleurodesis is indicated. [merckmanuals.com]

Dyspnea, or shortness of breath, is common with emergency department patients. [appliedradiology.com]

Patient was in mild distress and had decreased breath sounds over right lung fields about halfway up with dullness to percussion. Computed tomography of the chest showed a moderate-sized right pleural effusion and an anterior mediastinal mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Physical exam is notable for a woman with increased work of breathing and decreased breath sounds over the right lower lobe. A chest radiograph is performed, which demonstrates an extensive right pleural effusion. [step2.medbullets.com]

The physician will listen to the chest with a stethoscope for signs of decreased breath sounds or a pleural friction rub--the sound of pleura rubbing together during respiration. Duration: 01:44 Published: 15/02/2016 [blausen.com]

The patient may have unrelated symptoms due to the disease or condition that has caused the effusion.Symptoms of pleural effusion include: Chest pain Dry, nonproductive cough Dyspnea (shortness of breath, or difficult, labored breathing) Orthopnea (the [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Signs: Pleural Effusion cause-specific examination Constitutional Fever ( Pneumonia, empyema, Tb, malignancy, abdominal abscess) Pulmonary Hemoptysis (malignancy, PE, Tb) Cardiovascular Increased Jugular Venous Pressure (CHF, Pericarditis ) Orthopnea [fpnotebook.com]

To the authors' knowledge, itinerant chest pain has not been reported as sign or symptom of PE. A 41-year-old woman presenting with left chest pain, no hemoptysis, or breathing difficulties. The chest pain was more severe on deep inspiration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many cause dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, or both. Pleuritic chest pain, a vague discomfort or sharp pain that worsens during inspiration, indicates inflammation of the parietal pleura. [merckmanuals.com]

Arterial blood gases, pleural effusion, and atelectasis were compared between groups. Atelectasis and pleural effusion was reduced in experimental group. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Atelectasis – a collapsed or airless state of the lung – may be acute or chronic, and may involve all or part of the lung. The primary cause of atelectasis is obstruction of the bronchus serving the affected area. [cardiachealth.org]

NPs and PAs have provided great feedback on Pneumonia Treatment, Atelectasis, Lung Cancer, Oncology, and Liver Function Tests among many others. [youtube.com]

Types of disorders that can cause transudative effusions include congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and atelectasis. It is also associated with some medical procedures, such as peritoneal dialysis. [blausen.com]

This cannot be atelectasis from compression - it is pneumonia with an associated effusion. A massive effusion. The depth between the pleura is 6cm. [icmteaching.com]

How is Pleural effusion Diagnosed? Chest x-ray can detect pleural effusion containing 300ml or more. Pleural effusions can be unilateral or bilateral – a large unilateral pleural effusion is more ominous since it can signify a malignancy. [healthengine.com.au]

The usual tests that will identify pleural effusions are: Chest X-ray film : Many times, the first step in diagnosing is plain X-ray films. They will show up on chest X-rays as a white space at the bottom of the lung. [md-health.com]

The diagnosis was confirmed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, which showed elevated Paragonimus westermani and Paragonimus miyazakii antibody levels. After the initiation of praziquantel therapy, all clinical findings were promptly improved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
