Inflammatory disease of the lungs (8)

I believe the answer is:

pleurisy

(Other definitions for pleurisy that I've seen before include "Complaint" , "Disease of the lungs" , "Inflammation of membrane surrounding lungs" , "Inflammation of membrane lining the chest" , "Inflammation of the lung cavity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
