Abstract
PURPOSE: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease affecting young adults with pulmonary involvement as commonest clinical presentation. For diagnosis, clinical and radiological features of sarcoidosis must be supported by histological evidence of non-necrotizing granulomas. Scadding criteria (based on chest x-ray) is currently used to stage pulmonary sarcoid. However, use of computed tomography (CT) suggests that chest x-ray may incorrectly stage the disease in some patients. We studied clinical profile and staging of pulmonary sarcoidosis in 160 Indian patients.
