[Immune status in a case of thyroid gland sarcoidosis--selected parameters]

On the basis of a case of sarcoidosis and the thyroid gland selected immunological parameters were examined and they were compared with the findings in pulmonary sarcoidosis. While the examination of the immunoglobulins in the present case did not show any characteristic changes, in the examination of the cellular immunity the hyporeactivity of the peripheral lymphocytes typical for the pulmonary sarcoidosis was found. The inclusion of immunological parameters is an enlargement of the possibilities for the differential diagnostic clarification of granulomatous inflammations of the thyroid gland.
