Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze lung function parameters and lung diffusing capacity in servicemen with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Methods. The study involved 45 patients with newly diagnosed active pulmonary sarcoidosis which was determined by biopsy. The mean age of the patients was 39.4 ± 10.9 years. Spirometry, body plethysmography, and single-breath measurement of lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL CO ) were performed in all the patients. Results. Normal forced spirometry parameters were found in 66.7% of the patients. Meanwhile, 13.3% of the patients had restrictive ventilation disorders, 23.3% had reduced RV without any changes and 33.3% had reduced DL CO . Conclusions. The results demonstrated a little diagnostic value of the standard spirometry in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. In these patients, the spirometry should be added by measurement of lung volume and lung diffusing capacity.

В наблюдениях отечественных специалистов отме чается характерная для СОД особенность – несоот ветствие выраженности нарушений ФВД рентгено логической симптоматике и активности процесса. Оригинальные исследования и отсутствие корреляции между типом нарушения ФВД и стадией процесса за исключением случаев развития интерстициального фиброза легочной тка ни, характерного для IV стадии заболевания (рест риктивные изменения) [5]. Целью данной работы явился анализ показателей ФВД и ДСЛ у военнослужащих с СОД
