Physiological Manifestation in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease involving multiple organs with unknown cause. More than 90% of patients with sarcoidosis have lung disease [1–3]. However, respiratory function in patients with sarcoidosis often remains normal, even when pulmonary parenchymal involvement is extensive. Not only the lung parenchyma but also the lung airways are involved, which sometimes makes it difficult to evaluate the relationship between functional impairment and morphological/imaging patterns.
