Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease involving multiple-organs with an unknown cause. The new onset of sarcoidosis associated with therapeutic agents has been observed in 3 clinical settings; tumor necrosis factor antagonists in autoimmune rheumatologic diseases, interferon alpha with or without ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C or melanoma, and antineoplastic agent-associated sa...
Infliximab is an effective treatment for sarcoidosis patients with persistent disease despite glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive therapy. Patients receiving infliximab can experience side effects, inducing an autoimmune reaction. Treatment is unclear for sarcoidosis patients who develop autoimmune reactions to infliximab. We report a case of a patient with advanced sarcoidosis who developed ...
Persistent lymphocytosis as a presenting sign in sarcoidosis is described in a 61-year-old man. Lymphocytosis is an unusual finding in sarcoidosis. The case presented seems to suggest that sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lymphocytosis.
CONTEXT Alterations of the renin-angiotensin system have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The angiotensin converting enzyme is a key enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system. A deletion polymorphism of a 287-bp fragment of intron 16 of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene allele results in higher levels of circulating enzyme. ACE deletion genotype has been linked to hear...
We read with interest the article by Shorr et al (September 2001),1 regarding the hyperreactive airway response (AHR) seen in the subgroup of nonsmoking patients with newly diagnosed sarcoidosis and endobronchial disease. Although the data are limited,1 (Table 1) if sarcoidosis is a given, the probability of the test (endobronchial biopsy) for diagnosing sarcoidosis approaches one if the patien...
OBJECTIVES To further identify the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that contribute to the genetic susceptibility to sarcoidosis, we examined the potential association between sarcoidosis and 15 SNPs of the ANXA11 gene. DESIGN A case-control study. SETTING A tuberculosis unit in a hospital of the university in China. PARTICIPANTS Participants included 412 patients with sarcoidosis a...
The Lung Allocation Score prioritizes lung transplantation candidates balancing waitlist-mortality and post-transplant survival. score groups sarcoidosis based on mean pulmonary artery pressure: ≤30 mmHg (Sarcoidosis A) are grouped with COPD >30 D) idiopathic fibrosis. We hypothesize that have a higher than other within their LAS grouping. This is retrospective cohort study of consecutive fr...
Background: Reaching the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis can be difficult due to granulomatous inflammation. The aim of this study was to determine alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in serum for the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis. Methods: This study comprised 242 subjects: 105 acid-fast bacilli (AFB) positive and/or culture-positive patients wit...
Lung transplantation (LT) is an appropriate therapeutic option for patients with severe, fibrocystic pulmonary sarcoidosis refractory to medical therapy. Survival rates following LT for sarcoidosis are generally comparable to other indications. Timing of transplantation for patients with sarcoidosis is challenging because mortality rates are high (27 to 53%) among sarcoid patients awaiting LT. ...
BACKGROUND The possible association between (tuberculous and nontuberculous) mycobacterial infections and sarcoidosis is still a matter of dispute. Using diagnostic tests for specific T-cell responses, this association can be investigated in an innovative manner. OBJECTIVE To measure the T-cell responsiveness to the purified protein derivative (PPD) antigen in blood and broncho-alveolar lavag...
