In a old patient with pneumococcal pneumonitis having acute fibrinous pericarditis,what will clear the exudate and restore the normal pleural anatomy?.....rather which proteolytic enzyme will do this?

i`d go for Trypsin. afterall that is what they give to lyse Surgical wounds. but if so where are they secreted from the Pleural epith. or PMNs?

i think its plasmin coz it is fibrinolytic and breaks fibrin strands in fibrinous pleuritis trypsin is released frm neutrophils to destroy bacteria and remove the debris in lung infections
