can environmental allergies cause pleurisy
Environmental allergies, also known as seasonal allergies, hayfever or allergic rhinitis occur when your immune system overreacts to particles in the air that you breathe. Your body's defence system (immune system) attacks the particles in your body, causing symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose.
1 Pleurisy is often associated with the accumulation of fluid between the two layers of pleura, known as pleural effusion. 2  Pleurisy is caused by a variety of conditions, such as infections, tuberculosis (TB), congestive heart failure, cancer, pulmonary embolism, and collagen vascular diseases.
