We report on the high frequency of pleural effusions in the immediate postpartum period. Forty-four out of 45 women whom we examined within 24-48 h after delivery showed evidence of pleural fluid. Under these circumstances, this pleural abnormality should not be considered an indicator of serious cardiopulmonary disease.
