As is known, Graetz explains the development of pleural effusions during an artificial pleural thorax by the transition of the inflammatory process from tbc foci to the nearby pleura, due to compression of the lung by air, and the exudate is formed more often immediately after the first blows. In other cases liquid appears after 4-8 months, being of transudate character. Consequently, the etiology of pleurisy is not the same.
