ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Sarcoidosis is a fairly common disease with an annual incidence rate of approximately 11 per 100,000 in Caucasians and approximately 36 per 100,000 African Americans in the United States. It is most common in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40. The word "sarcoidosis" comes from the Greek word "sarkodes," meaning "fleshy," and the Greek suffix "-osis," meaning "condition." The "fleshy condition" refers to the skin lesions that often form on various parts of the body. Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease that can affect a variety of organs. Pulmonary involvement occurs in greater than 90% of patients and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality from this disease. Many organs can be involved, in fact, one of the most noticeable symptoms is the peculiar skin lesions, erythema nodusum, that develop on the lower legs. Sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown etiology characterized by granuloma formation in a variety of organs. Granulomas are collections of immune cells and disease that result from granulomatous disorders. There are a variety of granulomatous disorders that closely resemble sarcoidosis, including tuberculosis. The close resemblence to tuberuculosis has led to speculation that sarcoidosis is due to an infectious organism. It is the formation of these granulomas and the resulting tissue damage caused by the cells within these granulomas that cause the symptoms of sarcoidosis.

Neurosarcoidosis by Aisha Elderwyn Neurosarcoidosis is also known as Sarcoidosis of the Brain or CNS Sarcoidosis (CNS = Central Nervous System). Background Sarcoidosis is a systemic illness. This means it can be present in any part of the body. Sarcoidosis is also a chronic illness. This means that it appears and progresses over a long time. Although its manifestations can disappear spontaneously, it will remain in a patient's body for the rest of their life. Many patients get few symptoms while others may get many. It is impossible to know how the disease will progress.

Sarcoidosis From the American Lung Association About Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a medical mystery. For the physician who is working on the scientific frontier, the disease can be a fascinating challenge. For the patient it can be a very serious illness, even fatal, or it can be of little consequence. Most sarcoidosis patients do not even have any symptoms and probably never know they have the disease. Sarcoidosis is not contagious. The disease can attack any organ of the body in any location. But it most frequently is found in the lungs. Pulmonary sarcoidosis can cause loss of lung volume (the amount of air the lungs can hold) and abnormal lung stiffness. The disease is characterized by the presence of granulomas, small areas of inflamed cells. Granulomas can be either inside the body or on the body's exterior. They can appear on the walls of the alveoli (small air sacs in the lungs) or on the walls of the bronchioles (breathing tubes in the lungs). These granulomatous lesions can also appear as sores on the face or shins.

My Life With Sarcoidosis I have been diagnosed with a rare disease called: Sarcoidosis. It is thought to be an auto-immune system disorder. Others believe it is a virus like Lyme Disease. It causes nodules or granulomas to grow in any organ of the body. Heart, brain, lungs, lymph nodes, kidney,spleen, joints, skin, bone and nervesanyplace. The granulomas develop in the organ causing inflammation and pain. They leave behind permanent scarring. Too much scarring impairs that organ. It has no known cause or cure. It can appear suddenly then disappear or go on to develop symptoms that wax and wane sometimes for a lifetime. For some, it is fatal. There is treatment with the hopes of going into remission. No one is sure which date I really got sick. One doctor thinks it was in August of 96 and another thinks it was June of 98. Here is what happened on those two dates that took me to the Doctor. August 96 June of 98 We went to San Diego for vacation. While there, we visited my brother-in-law's workplace. We were inside the building behind closed glass doors watching a video explaining one of the companies products.Everything was fine until we went back outside. They were doing construction at the site and were digging a huge hole. As soon as the doors opened, I began to cough hard and had to use my inhaler which helped it. From that point on, I got sicker and sicker. For the next week I felt like I had the flu. I would cough up a lot of yellow phlegm. I went back to the doctor who suggested Bronchitis or Sinusitis. I was on a few rounds of antibiotics, each one helped but it would come right back. Months went by like this. Finally in January of 99 (yes, 6 whole months later) I said I could no longer deal with the problems. The doctor had me get another chest xrayand things changed from that moment on.

This means there are scattered collections of mixed inflammatory cells (granulomas) affecting many different parts of the body. Characteristically these are non-caseating epithelioid granulomas (a pathological description distinguishing sarcoidal granulomas from the caseating or cheese-like granulomas seen in tuberculosis Sarcoidosis usually starts in the lungs or lymph nodes in the chest. It is thought that inflammation of the alveoli (tiny sac like air spaces in lungs where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged) is the start of the disease process in the lungs. This may either clear up on its own or lead to granuloma formation and fibrosis (scarring). Over 90% patients have some type of lung problem. Once considered a rare disease, sarcoidosis is now the most common of the fibrotic lung disorders. Other commonly affected organs (i.e. outside the lungs) include the following:
