Sarcoidosis From the American Lung Association About Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a medical mystery. For the physician who is working on the scientific frontier, the disease can be a fascinating challenge. For the patient it can be a very serious illness, even fatal, or it can be of little consequence. Most sarcoidosis patients do not even have any symptoms and probably never know they have the disease. Sarcoidosis is not contagious. The disease can attack any organ of the body in any location. But it most frequently is found in the lungs. Pulmonary sarcoidosis can cause loss of lung volume (the amount of air the lungs can hold) and abnormal lung stiffness. The disease is characterized by the presence of granulomas, small areas of inflamed cells. Granulomas can be either inside the body or on the body's exterior. They can appear on the walls of the alveoli (small air sacs in the lungs) or on the walls of the bronchioles (breathing tubes in the lungs). These granulomatous lesions can also appear as sores on the face or shins.

Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease which may affect many body systems. It is characterized by small round spots (tubercles) of granulated (dead) tissue. Sarcoidosis may be misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Sarcoidosis occurs predominantly between the ages of 20 and 40 years. There are about 25,000 cases in the United States, and the disease is most common in the southeast part of the United States. In Sweden the disease affects 6.5 persons in 10,000. The disease varies in severity and may affect any part of the body. It is most common among people of northern European ancestry and Afro-Americans. The cause of sarcoidosis is suspected of being autoimmune and may be triggered by an agent such as a slow virus or possibly a variety of other toxic agents. Genetic predisposition may also be an important factor in the development of sarcoidosis. Not all cases of sarcoidosis are alike. Some patients have few if any symptoms while others experience many. Although sarcoidosis may go away spontaneously without treatment, the majority of patients will have it for their lifetime. There is no cure at this time, but sarcoidosis can be controlled with medications.

71. Sarcoidosis sarcoidosis is characterized by a persistent nodular inflammation of theinvolved tissues. Cause. The cause of sarcoidosis is still unknown. http://www.lung.ca/diseases/sarcoidosis.html

Pronounced sar-coy-dough-sis , it is a chronic condition that may affect almost any part of the body. Sarcoidosis is characterized by a persistent nodular inflammation of the involved tissues. Lungs, lymph nodes, eyes, skin, liver and spleen are most often involved, but almost any tissue or organ of the body may be affected. Cause The cause of sarcoidosis is still unknown. It was once thought to be a form of tuberculosis but this is now known not to be the case. Most evidence suggests that sarcoidosis represents a reaction of the body to some as yet unidentified environmental agent or agents. Viruses have been implicated, but definite proof is lacking. It is possible that people with sarcoidosis have a disorder of their immune mechanisms that makes them susceptible to the disease. In such a situation, it is postulated that the inhalation of some environmental agent stimulates the immune system to produce an inflammatory response as an attempt to rid the body of this inhaled triggering factor. This immune reaction in the tissues is responsible for creating the inflammatory nodules which characterize the condition known as sarcoidosis. Although sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of nodular swellings in the involved tissues, there is no evidence to suggest that it is a malignant disease. Nevertheless, the inflammatory nodules of sarcoidosis can interfere with normal functioning of the involved tissues and organs.

Information from Your Family Doctor Sarcoidosis What is sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis (say "sar-coy-doe-sis") is a disease that may affect any organ or system in the body. People with sarcoidosis may have no symptoms at all or they may have serious problems with many organs in their body. The cause of sarcoidosis isn't known. It is most common in adults between 20 and 40 years of age. Sarcoidosis is more common in women than in men. In the United States, it occurs more often in blacks than in whites. Sarcoidosis is not contagious. This means you can't catch sarcoidosis from another person who has the disease. What are the symptoms of sarcoidosis? The symptoms of sarcoidosis vary, depending on which part of the body is affected. Symptoms can involve several parts of the body, or only one. Although almost any area of the body can be affected, most people have few, if any, symptoms. Less than half of people who have sarcoidosis need any treatment. The most common symptoms involve the lungs, skin, eyes and liver. Lungs The lungs are affected in about 88% of people who have sarcoidosis. People who have sarcoidosis may have a cough or chest pain. Some people have breathing problems, but most people have few or no breathing problems.

OTOLARYNGOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS OF SARCOIDOSIS March 9, 1995 Andrew L. de Jong, M.D. Historically, Hutchinson is credited with first describing the disease and he named it "Mortimers malady" after the patient, Mrs. Mortimer, who had the unique skin findings. In 1899, Boeck described the skin manifestations in more detail and called the disease Boeck's sarcoidosis. He used sarcoid in the name because he thought it was cutaneous form of a sarcoma. The Danish ophthalmologist, Heerfordt, described the triad of uveitis, parotid enlargement, and cranial nerve paresis in 1909. Schaumann described the pathologic findings in 1916 and then, in 1940, Poe was the first to pathologically document sarcoid involvement in the larynx. Finally, Kvein and Siltzbach refined a skin test for sarcoidosis using a heat killed suspension from the lymph nodes of known sarcoid patients. Neurologic symptoms occur in only 5% of the cases, but they are the most common reason for otolaryngologic consultation. Facial nerve palsies are the most common cranial nerve deficit but any cranial nerve can be affected. The paresis can either be fluctuating or a relentless, progressive course. Although Heerfordt's disease most often includes facial nerve paresis, any cranial nerve can be affected in association with uveitis and parotid enlargement. Fever is also commonly associated with this constellation of findings.

This material should not be used as a basis for treatment decisions, and is not a substitute for professional consultation and/or peer-reviewed medical literature. OTOLARYNGOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS OF SARCOIDOSIS J. Cary Moorhead, M.D, MD January 11, 1992 Sarcoidosis is a chronic, systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. It generally affects people in their 20s to 40s and has a predilection for females, Blacks and Puerto Ricans. Worldwide, there is an increased prevalence of sarcoidosis in northern Europe, the southeastern United States, Australia, and Scandinavia. The etiology of sarcoidosis remains a mystery despite a great deal of research. An air-borne pathogen has been speculated, although a specific entity has never been identified. The immunologic response is probably initiated when an unknown antigen acts on a mononuclear phagocyte or T-helper cell, activating the T-helper cell to secrete Interleukin 2. This leads to further proliferation of the T-helper cells as well as secretion of a monocyte chemotactic factor responsible for recruiting the cellular building blocks needed for granuloma formation.

SARCOIDOSIS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Clinical findings may include a debilitating, febrile illness with cough and dyspnea, fatigue, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (visible upon plain film radiograph), erythema nodosum, alveolitis, acute polymyositis, arthritis, musculoskeletal anomalies, lacrimal or salivary gland infiltration or sarcoid nodules of the skin. It occurs most frequently in young adults (20 to 40 years), has a predilection for women and for races of color. Patients diagnosed with systemic sarcoidosis have nearly 20 percent incidence of ocular involvement. The most prevalent ocular sign is unilateral, anterior, granulomatous uveitis. Less common presentations include unilateral nongranulomatous uveitis, bilateral intermediate uveitis, and bilateral chronically smoldering low-grade granulomatous ocular inflammation (Lofgren's syndrome). The common clinical ocular findings associated with sarcoid uveitis include decreased or hazy vision, pain, photophobia, lacrimation, conjunctival injection, cells and flare in the anterior chamber, granulomatous iritis with large "mutton fat" keratic precipitates scattered over the back surface of the corneal endothelium, iritis spill over leading to anterior vitritis, true vitritis with white exudative debris in the region of the ora serrata (snowball or snowbank retinopathy) with retinal vasculitis (candle wax drippings) and phlebitis (venous sheathing).

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect almost any organ in the body. It most commonly starts in the lungs or lymph nodes. Although no one knows exactly what causes sarcoidosis, it is clear that the disease is characterized by the formation of granulomas which are small collections of tissue and inflammatory cells. Granulomas collect in various organs of the body and can lead to chronic inflammation and scarring. Sarcoidosis and African American Women Sarcoidosis is a relatively common disease affecting people of all ages and sexes. It usually affects people between the ages of 20 and 40, but it can occur in children and in the elderly. In the United States, sarcoidosis is approximately 10-15 times
