Find a character within quotes, using preg_replace

Question

I have a string:

106;"LORDAL La Manicure, ser;um do manuzi, wzrost, 5 ml";301*04*334;46;"loksx-la-mainusttej-wzroxst-5-ml";"";"";19.51220;"";"";"thumb23_9671ds359.png"

I want to replace all semicolon (;) characters that are within paired quotes. In the example above I only what to remote the semicolon in: "ser;um". After replacement it should look like this:

106;"LORDAL La Manicure, serum do manuzi, wzrost, 5 ml";301*04*334;46;"loksx-la-mainusttej-wzroxst-5-ml";"";"";19.51220;"";"";"thumb23_9671ds359.png"

I need use a preg_replace function, but I don’t know how to define a pattern.
