Viruses affect the human body in multiple ways producing various disease states. The infections of the pulmonary parenchyma have been well described. However, there has been no current review of the literature pertaining to the pleura.
To review the available literature pertaining to diseases of the pleura that are caused by viral infections.
A Medline search was performed and available research and review articles relating to viral infections that resulted in pleural effusions, pleural masses, pleural thickening, and pleural nodularity were reviewed.
There are numerous viruses that cause diseases of the pleura. Pleural effusions and lesions within the pleura are the most common presentation of the disease state. Polymerase chain reaction has the potential to further diagnose viral infections and expand our knowledge base in this field.
病毒通过多种方式影响人体，导致各种疾病状态。肺部实质的感染已有详细描述。然而，目前尚无关于胸膜疾病的文献综述。
综述有关胸膜病毒感染的现有文献。
进行了 Medline 检索，并对与导致胸腔积液、胸腔肿块、胸膜增厚和胸膜小结节的病毒感染相关的研究和综述文章进行了回顾。
有许多病毒可引起胸膜疾病。胸腔积液和胸膜内病变是该疾病状态的最常见表现。聚合酶链反应有可能进一步诊断病毒感染，并扩展我们在这一领域的知识库。
