Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology.
  • It predominantly affects young adults aged 20-40.
  • Radiological chest abnormalities are present in 90% of patients.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic approach to sarcoidosis.
  • To detail the methods for evaluating disease activity and stage.

Summary:

  • Sarcoidosis diagnosis requires assessing clinical, biochemical, and immunological parameters.
  • Clinical criteria include symptoms like cough, dyspnea, erythema nodosum, uveitis, and organ involvement.
  • Biochemical markers assess macrophage, lymphocyte, and granuloma activity, alongside collagen metabolism.
