Pulmonary function in Boeck's sarcoid.
نویسنده
چکیده
Boeck's sarcoid frequently produces widespread roentgenologic evidence of pulmonary disease without clinical signs or symptoms. Wright and Filley (1) reported normal pulmonary function studies in one such case. Others (2, 3, 4, 5) have reported a variety of effects of more advanced sarcoidosis on pulmonary function. This report is a study of pulmonary function in six cases of Boeck's sarcoid and emphasizes the frequent coincidence of widespread disease without severe functional impairment.

Therefore, we undertook a specific analysis of blood capillaries and lymphatics supplying sarcoid granulomas to identify additional clues to understanding the pat...
