Sarcoidosis is a disease that occurs when areas of inflammation develop in different organs of the body. Very small clusters of inflammation, called granulomas, are seen with sarcoidosis. They may occur in the lungs, lymph nodes, eyes, skin or any area of the body. These granulomas may clear up on their own, or cause permanent scarring. Return to Top What Causes Sarcoidosis? The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. Return to Top Who Gets Sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis occurs more often in Caucasians of European descent and in African-Americans. About 10 to 40 out of every 100,000 people develop sarcoidosis. It is most common in young people between the ages of 20 and 40. Sarcoidosis is not contagious.

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.

But for most people a full recovery is likely. In this article Symptoms Acute or chronic? Diagnosis Treatment Symptoms Sarcoidosis is also commonly known as just 'sarcoid'. In this condition areas of inflammation may appear anywhere around the body. The most commonly affected areas, however, are the lungs, skin, eyes and the lymph nodes. One area alone may be affected, or many at the same time. Sarcoidosis is believed to be one of the autoimmune diseases where for an unknown reason the body attacks itself. Why this happens isn't clear, but infection often precedes the first signs of the disease. Although it may occur at any age, young adults are far more likely to develop sarcoidosis. It sometimes runs in families and those of Afro-Caribbean descent are more likely to be affected. Acute or chronic?

Perelman Department of Dermatology, New York University Abstract A 48-year-old woman with an 8-year history of intermittently pruritic papules on the lower extremities suddenly developed pruritus and generalized spread of the lesions over a 1-month period. The lesions appeared as smooth, flat-topped, violaceous, round papules on all extremities, trunk, and back. A biopsy specimen showed sarcoidosis. Cutaneous sarcoidosis has many morphologic presentations and often mimics other dermatologic diseases. Despite widespread cutaneous involvement, she has no systemic involvement.

Granuloma are an aggregation of lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and epithelioid giant cells (multi-nucleated cells).

Last modified on: Monday, November 29, 2004 12:22:08 Therapy for Sarcoidosis of Lungs and Thoracic Lymphatic Nodes. Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by formation of specific epithelioid granulomas in various tissues and organs. Sarcoidosis is thought to be caused by modified tuberculosis mycobacteria (granular or L-forms). The disease usually has a chronic course with numerous recurrences (relapses). Conventional methods of therapy (corticosteroids, vitamins, antioxidants) are ineffective. Based on favorable results of millimeter wave (MW) therapy in tuberculosis patients demonstrated previously, a Russian research group tested the method in 60 patients with sarcoidosis and also obtained favorable results. The authors emphasize that the ability of MW therapy to provoke resolution of granulomas (instead of fibrosis, which commonly takes place under conventional treatment) is extremely important for restoration of function in the impaired organs.

Current issue: September 2005 Visit our other sites... Johnson Publishing Ebony Magazine Jet Magazine Fashion Fair Cosmetics Ebony Fashion Fair Its victims are usually young and full of vigor. Their cases run the gamut from mildly irritating to life-threatening. The inflammatory disease is sarcoidosis, a systemic condition that can affect every organ in the body, although it most often begins in the lungs. African-Americans, along with Swedes and Danes, have the highest rates of sarcoidosis in the world, according to the American Lung Association. Black women are victimized twice as often as Black men, and Blacks are also more likely to have more severe, chronic symptoms than Whites. And although deaths from the disease are rare, the mortality rate among Blacks is more than 16 times that of Whites. The disease, which most commonly strikes young adults between the ages of 20 and 40, is a puzzling one, with no known cause and no cure.
