    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology.
    • Pediatric sarcoidosis is rare and presents unique diagnostic challenges.
    • Understanding the clinical spectrum in children is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical characteristics, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes of pediatric sarcoidosis.
    • To highlight the presentation of sarcoidosis in children seen at a tertiary pediatric hospital.
    • To review the management strategies employed for pediatric sarcoidosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of eight pediatric patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, radiological findings, laboratory results, and treatment responses.

  • Histopathological confirmation of non-caseating granulomas.

    • Main Results:

    • Common symptoms included cough, fatigue, and weight loss; peripheral lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly were frequent.
    • Chest radiography revealed bilateral hilar adenopathy in seven patients and parenchymal lung changes in six.
    • Elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels were observed in all tested patients; hypercalcemia was present in three.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric sarcoidosis can present with diverse symptoms, predominantly affecting the respiratory system.
    • Diagnostic workup should include ACE levels and imaging, with biopsy confirming non-caseating granulomas.
    • Corticosteroid therapy is a primary treatment modality for symptomatic or severe cases.
