Abstract
A series of patients with sarcoidosis are evaluated for the possible influence of ultraviolet radiation by sunlight on the hypercalcemia often associated with this disease. The data indicate a seasonal variation in the incidence of hypercalcemia which correlates well with the amount of natural ultraviolet radiation available at that particular time of year. Maximal antirachitic effect of sunlight in June, July and August is associated with a marked rise in the incidence of hypercalcemic sarcoidosis.
