Remission in Sarcoidosis This is a simplified overview of the full paper " Remission in Sarcoidosis ". Always refer to the full paper to resolve any points of confusion Sarcoidosis has been one of the few remaining "mystery diseases" of modern medicine. First discovered in 1877 by Jonathan Hutchinson, it was the work of Guy Scadding in the late 1940’s and early 50’s that really defined today’s view of this disorder as being characterized by "non-caseating granuloma". 'Granuloma' are a special type of inflammation. They are an aggregation of lymphocytes monocytes macrophages and ... epithelioid giant cells . They form in soft tissues throughout the body. Although they are often found in the liver, kidney and brain, most commonly they are found in the interstitial tissue of the lungs. Since the lungs use the interstitial tissue to transfer air and other gasses to and from the bloodstream, the granuloma stop the lungs from functioning properly. The word "non-caseating" means that the granuloma remain healthy, even while they are creating the inflammatory biochemicals (Cytokines) that are designed to help our immune systems attack and kill ‘invading’, ‘foreign’, tissue and organisms (viruses, bacteria and fungi). Earlier this year, a group of Swedish Scientists published pictures of Bacteria from a tick-borne disease that were living and replicating in the granuloma of 26 Sarcoidosis patients. The organisms were from the genus "Rickettsia". In the USA, Rickettsia organisms give rise to "Rocky Mountains Spotted Fever," while in Asia they cause "Scrub Typhus". Using an Electron Microscope, with a magnification of 84 000, they photographed two Rickettsia cells which were in the process of replicating by dividing into two. The granuloma are supposed to kill such bacteria, yet here was evidence that bacteria can live and replicate within those granuloma. Other scientists have since found different types of bacteria which also seem to be involved in sarcoid inflammation.

However, it is most frequently found in the lungs. Sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of small areas of inflammed cells called granulomas. Granulomas can be found inside the body, for example, on the walls of the bronchi and bronchioles (breathing tubes) in the lungs. They can also appear as sores on the skin. What are the symptoms of sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis causes a variety of symptoms or no symptoms at all. Patients suffering from pulmonary sarcoidosis may have a dry cough, shortness of breath and chest pain. There also can be fatigue, weakness and weight loss.

Sarcoidosis PROFILE: This study is no longer active at The Rockefeller University Hospital , but new studies are being developed, so please visit this site again. For more information contact: Stephen J. Oliver, M.D. Send e-mail Background For many years, thalidomide has been used to clear a severe skin reaction associated with leprosy treatment. More recently, thalidomide has shown efficacy in chronic inflammatory skin and mucous membrane disorders such as discoid lupus, HIV-associated oral ulcers, graft-versus-host disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. Recent work has suggested that thalidomide may also attenuate weight loss in patients with tuberculosis and HIV infections. The exact mechanism by which thalidomide exerts its beneficial action in these diseases is still an object of intense research. Thalidomide can decrease levels of an inflammation causing element in the blood called tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- a ), an important factor in granuloma formation. Studies have also suggested that thalidomide may alter new blood vessel formation and enhance certain forms of the body's immune response. Although corticosteroid treatment has been generally successful at arresting or reversing sarcoidosis, the prominent steroid side effects and potential for developing disease resistance to steroids are constant concerns. New and more specific treatments need to be developed to control sarcoidosis. Although a few anecdotal reports suggest thalidomide may be effective in sarcoid patients, no organized evaluation of thalidomide use in this disease exists. We have recently completed an open pilot study to evaluate thalidomide's effect in 10 sarcoidosis patients. Although the main focus of the study was on safety, we also observed the clinical and immune effects of the drug on these patients. We are currently preparing a second study to answer specific questions posed by this initial study. When this study is open for enrollment, we will post the information on this website.

Site Index Related Resources Within UMM Clinical Immunology Family Medicine Pediatric Allergy Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Respiratory Disease Pulmonary Sarcoidosis What is sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is a rare disease that results from inflammation. Ninety percent of the cases of sarcoidosis are found in the lungs, but it can occur in almost any organ. It causes small lumps, or granulomas, which generally heal and disappear on their own. However, for those granulomas that do not heal, the tissue can remain inflamed and become scarred, or fibrotic. Pulmonary sarcoidosis can develop into pulmonary fibrosis , which distorts the structure of the lungs and can interfere with breathing. Bronchiectasis , a lung disease in which pockets form in the air tubes of the lung and become sites for infection, can also occur What are the symptoms of sarcoidosis? Most sarcoidosis patients do not exhibit symptoms and probably are unaware they have the disease. Pulmonary sarcoidosis can cause loss of lung volume (the amount of air the lungs can hold) and abnormal lung stiffness.

Home Page Introduction What is Sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis, or sarcoid for short, is a disease in which the body’s immune system becomes activated for unclear reasons. Since the lungs are affected in more than 90% of patients with sarcoid, pulmonologists are usually called upon to take care of patients with this disease. Sarcoid can occur silently and become detected incidentally when a CXR is obtained for other reasons, or can produce symptoms such as cough or shortness of breath. Since sarcoid often resolves spontaneously, treatment is not always necessary. Sarcoid can also affect the skin and the eyes, and rarely other organs of the body.

Ocular Sarcoidosis by Panagiota Stavrou, F.R.C.S. Harvard Medical School Boston, MA Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease which was first described by Jonathan Hutchinson in 1878. Its clinical manifestations and course can be variable in different ethnic groups. The organs affected more often are the lungs, skin and eyes. The frequency of ocular involvement ranges from 26% to 50%. The characteristics of ocular involvement are (1) when present, is seen generally early in the course of the disease (2) may co-exist with asymptomatic systemic disease and (3) can precede systemic involvement by several years. Most patients present between the ages of 20 to 40 years; however, children and the elderly can be affected. Cases of familial sarcoidosis, including monozygotic twins, and husband-wife pairs have also been reported. Diagnosis relies on demonstration of non caseating granuloma by tissue biopsy. In cases of suspected sarcoidosis where no affected tissue amenable to biopsy is identifiable, supportive evidence of the diagnosis can be obtained through non-invasive investigations including measurement of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and lysozyme, chest x-ray, chest computerized tomography (C-T), gallium scintillography, pulmonary function tests, bronchoalveolar lavage, and measurement of serum and urinary calcium. Ocular manifestations Anterior segment Conjunctival involvement has been reported in 6.9%-70% of patients with ocular sarcoidosis (Figure 1).

Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Sarcoidosis Information Sarcoidosis Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Definition : A disease of unknown cause in which inflammation consisting of granulomas occurs in lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, or other tissues. Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors The cause of the disease is unknown. Tissue samples from involved organs show granulomas, which are clusters of macrophages, lymphocytes, and cells called multinucleated giant cells. Possible causes include a hypersensitivity response, a genetic predisposition, infection, or chemicals. The incidence varies widely according to race and sex. Incidence is highest among North Americans of African heritage and Northern European Caucasians. Women of African heritage are affected more than men of African heritage. The onset of the disease usually occurs in people between 30 and 50 years old. Sarcoidosis is very rare in young children.
