Pleurisyis often heard from the people who are suffering from acute chest problem.

In medical terms, when the two double membranes that lines the chest cavity and surrounding the lungs get inflammable, it can cause pleurisy.

These membranes are like satin dress rubbing each other when the lung expand and contract while breathing.

But in the case of pleurisy these satin membranes due to inflammation make themselves coarse, irregular and crisscrossing among each other main the breathing harder and making a sharp pain at the area of intersection. Nearly every time you breathe, the pain can be felt.

Pleurisy connected to Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE):

SLEis too a self immune sickness (where the body attacks itself) causing the tissues inflammable and swollen, but it’s not contagious.

The cause of pleurisy is perfectly not known, but it can cause due to viral infection affecting the pleura, a blood clot in the lung or anauto immunesickness where the body attacks it self.

Hidden cause of pleurisy:

The exact cause is not known but some underlying medical conditions state that this is caused due to

• Acute viral infections such as influenza
• Pneumonia(bacterial infection); in this case the affected portion of lung involves pleural surface
• Rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune hepatitis and sarcoidosis
• Tuberculosis
• Injury, rib break, collapsed lung
• A blood clot (pulmonary embolus) in the artery of the lung.
• A sickness that can affect the routine of lung functions.

The above cases can cause pleurisy or may not cause it. But these are not the perfect reasons behind pleurisy causes.
