Pleurisy, an inflammation of the lining around the lungs, is associated with a common complication of several different medical conditions, the most pervasive being viral and mycobacterial infections. We evaluated the relevance of pleurisy and high blood pressure, diabetes. This study is a survey of 136 patients in whom pleural aspiration was performed to confirm the relationship with hypertension or diabetes mellitus and pleurisy. In the 136 patients, 47.8% were normal people (without hypertension and diabetes mellitus), 32.3% were hypertension patients, 7.4% were diabetes mellitus patients, and 12.5% were patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Odds ratio of normal and hypertension group by pleurisy was 2.524 and the confidence interval was 1.050, 6.069, odds ratio of normal and hypertension group was 4.417 and the confidence interval was 1.101, 17.714. According to these results, hypertension and diabetes mellitus may increase the risk of pleurisy.
