1). The most frequent underlying diseases are pulmonary tuberculosis, in which case patients can be misdiagnosed as having recurrent/refractory tuberculosis infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), both common conditions worldwide, and sarcoidosis. It has been estimated that 10%–25...
as a novel candidate microbiota component associated with pulmonary sarcoidosis. However, previous research has shown inconsistencies. Earlier studies indicated a higher relative abundance of Atopobium in individuals with non-small cell lung cancer, suggesting an associated increased risk [50]. These ...
Results: 106 histology specimens were analyzed from 100 patients, with 36 biopsies (34%) from sarcoidosis tissues and 70 (66%) from other granulomatous disorders. The Cohen Kappa correlations between the two pathologists for SAA staining positivity were excellent (0.85, 0.73- 0.98). The overall ...
Evaluation of sarcoidosis with PET/CT. A 54-year-old female underwent CTA PE (left column) showing mass-like lesion in the main pulmonary artery. FDG PET/CT (middle column) was performed per sarcoid protocol which includes high fat and protein, no carbohydrate diet to suppress normal myocardi...
51,53 This finding has led to the recommendation that isolated bronchoalveolar lavage lymphocytosis should suggest alternative, corticosteroid-responsive diagnoses such as NSIP, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia.42 Transbronchial biopsy is limited by ...
