Primary or secondary pleuritis causes roughening of the two pleural leaves.
Due to this roughening, the leaves of the parietal and visceral pleura cause auscultatory phenomena that can be heard throughout the entire respiration.

Otherwise, the usual symptoms of pleuritis can be found such as:
Auscultation
Percussion
Vocal fremitus
