Q: pleurisy on one side of lungs ?

hi there...

i've read about this condition, its symptoms and possible causes but am still unsure as to whether it occurs between the pleura of one or both lungs.

i guess my question is can it occur on only one side?

Yes, it can cause pain in only one area and is aptly called side pleurisy.
