Sarcoidosis is a disease which involves abnormal collections of inflammatory cells that forms lumps which we usually call as granulomas. This disease mostly affects the lungs, lymph nodes or skin although any organ can be affected but chances are less. Most commonly in findings physician see large lymph nodes at the root of lungs on both sides.
Symptoms vary, depending on the organs affected.
Sarcoidosis often detected very rarely. The Qualified physician can only differentiates it from other chest related affections after going through chest radiograph or CT scan of chest. To differentiate sarcoidosis from tuberculosis is very important. The most common age for affection is 20 years to 50 years. For some, it may last for years and lead to organ damage. The exact cause of sarcoidosis is still not confirmed but few theories believe that due to a immune reaction trigger (which could be anything) such as infection or chemical reaction in those who are genetically predisposed or have a low immunity.
