It is shown that the microscopic amalysis of the mutual interaction of two slabs at distance d containing fluids of classical charges (plasma), results in Casimir forces. One uses the Mayer series for inhomogeneous charged fluids to calculate the charge-charge correlation function of the system. The relation with the Debye-Hückel potential is exhibited. Lastly, one investigates the case when one of these slabs is replaced by a semi-infinite macroscopic medium of homogeneous dielectric constant.
