Аннотация: Pleural disease remains common, affecting over 3000 people per million population each year. They therefore represent a significant contribution to the workload of respiratory physicians.

This guideline is intended for use by all healthcare professionals who may be involved in pleural disease management. This will include doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. The guideline addresses the investigation and medical management of pleural disease in adults. This is divided into the following sections: 1.
