" Question I would like more information about the causes and symptoms of pleurisy. Answer Pleurisy is caused by an inflammation of the outer lining of the lung.  It is usually due to infection but there can be other diseases which cause this inflammation.  The inflammation makes the lining sticky and instead of sliding easily over the lung with every breath, it gets stuck and this is what causes the pain.  The typical pain of pleurisy is sharp and is worse with every breath. The patient usually tries to keep very still and to breathe only shallow, short breaths.
