A2 - Altkorn, Diane PY - 2020 T2 - Symptom to Diagnosis: An Evidence-Based Guide, 4e AB - Small effusions are usually asymptomatic while large effusions reliably cause dyspnea with or without pleuritic chest pain. The presentation depends on the cause of the effusion. Parapneumonic effusions are accompanied by the signs and symptoms of pneumonia while effusions related to neoplasm, HF, PE or rheumatologic disease are accompanied by signs of those underlying diseases.
