How do they know? What were his symptoms? This answer is very unsatisfactory.

Pleurisy is inflammation of the pleura. It's usually caused by another condition, such as an infection, but sometimes no cause can be identified. The pleura are two thin sheets of tissue that separate the lungs and ribcage. One is attached to the ribcage and the other is attached to the lungs.

Player #1474571, I once had pneumonia and pleurisy at the same time. It was awful, couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, couldn't eat, had no energy, and so it was unforgettable. I never want to go there again!
