A systematic approach to the investigation and diagnosis of a unilateral pleural effusion
International Journal of Clinical Practice, 10/15/09

McGrath EE et al. – Fluid in the pleural space is a common sequela of a wide range of diseases which may be pulmonary, pleural or extrapulmonary. As the differential diagnosis is wide, a systematic approach to investigation and diagnosis is recommended.
