Purpose Of Review:
Despite the frequent occurrence of worsening pulmonary symptoms in pulmonary sarcoidosis patients, there is little available information concerning this topic.
Recent Findings:
In this review, we outline the various causes for these symptoms. We propose to partition the various causes for these symptoms into specific categories.
Summary:
We believe that these categories will provide the clinician a framework to evaluate pulmonary sarcoidosis patients with such symptoms in a rigorous way that may be useful in optimizing their care.
