Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder characterized by noncaseating granulomas, which can affect any organ system. The lungs are most commonly affected but extrapulmonary sites may cause the initial and/or sole symptoms. In this review, the disease manifestations and treatment are described, with particular emphasis on the management of each affected organ system. Diagnosis and management can be difficult and greatly affect quality of life, but despite these challenges, it is possible to successfully manage patients with sarcoidosis in the primary care setting.
