Study Notes
- The text describes the acute form of sarcoidosis, known as Löfgren syndrome.
- Löfgren syndrome is characterized by peripheral adenopathies, erythema nodosum, maculopapular rash, and facial/ocular paralysis.
- There is a peak in Löfgren syndrome cases in Europe during the spring.
- The syndrome is often encountered in emergency settings.
- Biarthritis of the ankles, erythema nodosum, and bilateral hilar adenopathies on lung imaging are the triad of Löfgren syndrome.
- In women, erythema nodosum is more common, while in men, arthritis is more common.
- ECA levels may increase in 15% of cases but are not specific to sarcoidosis.
- The diagnosis of sarcoidosis is quasi-confirmed in a patient with restrictive cardiomyopathy and ankle arthritis.
- Löfgren syndrome is a part of the entity of sarcoidosis.
- The syndrome is relatively common.
- Phocytaire, a decrease in CD8 levels and an increase in CD4/CD8 ratio are indicators of sarcoidosis.
- Kveim test is a historical diagnostic test for sarcoidosis, not currently used.
- The Kveim test involves injecting splenic extract from a sarcoidosis patient and observing the development of a skin nodule.
- Ophthalmologic examination is used to detect sarcoidosis-related eye conditions.
- Cardiac sarcoidosis affects 5% of sarcoidosis patients and can cause rhythm and conduction issues, heart failure, or sudden death.
- ECG can show conduction abnormalities in cardiac sarcoidosis.
- Troponin and NT-proBNP levels can be used to detect cardiac sarcoidosis.
- Sarcoidosis can cause granulomas in various organs.
- Sarcoidosis can be diagnosed through biopsy of affected tissue.
- Sarcoidosis can have a range of symptoms and severity.
- Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory disease of unknown cause.
- It can affect multiple organs, including the lungs, heart, and nervous system.
- Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical, radiographic, and laboratory findings.
- Treatment is not always necessary, but may be required if there is a risk of severe organ dysfunction or symptoms.
- Corticosteroids are the first-line treatment, but other immunosuppressants may be used.
- Remission is possible, but relapses can occur.
- Monitoring is important for both treatment and follow-up.
- Cardiac, neurologic, renal, or ocular involvement requires early treatment.
- Adult Still's disease is a rare inflammatory rheumatic disorder with fever as its main symptom.
- Diagnosis can be difficult and requires ruling out other conditions.
