Abstract:
Fatigue is a prominent symptom in a large number of medical conditions, malignant and infectious diseases. Fatigue is also a prominent symptom of sarcoidosis. The occurrence of fatigue in sarcoidosis is well known but exact incidence has not been established and varies from 30-70% of patients depending on age, sex and organ involvement by the granulomatous process. The exact definition of fatigue varies broadly. It can be both physical and mental. The patients describe their sensation of fatigue qualitatively different from that fatigue they experienced before they became sick. Fatigue has a major impact on the quality of life in sarcoidosis. Establishing the extent of fatigue in sarcoidosis provides relevant insight regarding the patient's quality of life. Unfortunately there is no objective parameter for assessing fatigue in sarcoidosis. Generally, fatigue is detected by means of questionnaires. Regarding the therapy, there is no effective treatment for fatigue in sarcoidosis.
