Popis: Clinical: Sarcoidosis is a common systemic disease which can affect nearly any organ system. Lungs, lymph nodes, and skin are the most frequently involved organs. Although typically indolent, spread into the central nervous system or heart can have high morbidity and mortality rates. It has a predilection for African-American and Hispanic patients. Asians are rarely affected. Sarcoidosis can present at any age, but adults are most often affected, particularly if there is skin involvement.
