Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Pleural fluid describes fluid within the pleural space. Fluid may be simple fluid, pus, haemorrhage and therefore is a broad description that includes, but not synonymous with pleural effusion. Pus in the pleural space may become loculated and in some cases, may have solid elements."
