This is a multicenter, prospective and randomized trial. Objective: To determine if the Chest physiotherapy (CP) associated with conventional medical treatment (CT) improves functional sequelae secondary to pleural infectious disease, defined as an increased of 15% in Vital Functional Capacity (VFC). Adult patients with diagnosis of pleural infection will be included and randomized into two branches: control group - only CT and interventional one - CT plus CP.
