message: Why does the "Sources" section at the bottom include a link to a website about Enrico Caruso (http://www.geopaix.com/caruso/)? Tenmiles 03:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because, as the article states, Caruso died of pleurisy, and that article was the source for that piece of information.--Srleffler 03:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My apologies; I failed to take note of that fact, having glossed over the "Famous Cases" section. Tenmiles 06:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, eventually. We're all going to die. Pleurisy is not normally life-threatening; but can present complications if untreated. Stop smoking while you're still young, and go see a doctor for a professional opinion. Tenmiles 05:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: When I suffered from Pleurisy brought on by Pneumonia I received Clarithromycin tablets (250mg twice a day for 7 days) for the Pneumonia.  For the pain I was given Co-Dydramal and Tramadol Hydrochloride, the affect of which would wear off some time before the next medication could be taken. The symptoms (the pain) cleared up after around 12 days. Alls0rts 10:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Billy Connolly references pleurisy in a song entitled "If It Wasnae For Your Wellies" where he highlights the 'vital importance of wellies in Scottish culture':
"If it wasnae for your wellies, where would you be;
You'd be in a hospital or infirmary;
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy;
If you didnae have your feet in your wellies" LudBob 09:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: as to previous dagg adapted billy connely not the other way around
His 1976 single, Gumboots, was a hit, climbing to Number 6 on the charts. Gumboots was a modified version of Billy Connolly's If It Weren't For Your Wellies (itself an adaptation of the old song The Work Of The Weavers).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.113.48.17 (talk) 11:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: It is proposed that Pleurisy be part of the trial of a new template; see the green strip at the top of Pain where it has been in place for a couple of months. The purpose of this project is to encourage readers to edit, while equipping them with the basic tools. If you perceive a problem with this, or have any suggestions for improvement, please discuss at the project talk page --Anthonyhcole (talk) 09:37, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: == References in literature ==
* In The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, reference is made to Laura Wingfield's bout with pleurosis during high school.

message: Pleurisy is simple inflammation of the pleura. These details can go in the article about the people in question. With respect to this symptom none of them are notable and the condition appears to be discussed in passing. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:45, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
