Chest pain may also occur, that is, chest tightness, and may even be complicated by a large amount of pleural effusion, which can be manifested as dyspnea. Ultrasound examination or CT can confirm the diagnosis. CT will reveal obvious or positional nodules in both lungs, so patients with a large amount of chest effusion can also choose chest puncture drainage, because the effusion is also prone to secondary infection.
