[Follow-up of sarcoidosis outpatients]

The results of long-term follow-ups of 300 patients with sarcoidosis registered at the Central Research Institute of Tuberculosis, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, were studied. The paper provides a full characterization of the patients by their social status, clinical forms, detection modes, diagnostic methods. The efficiency of treatment was evaluated, as evidenced by the "movement" from group to group (from active group to inactive one). A follow-up makes it possible to correct treatment.
