Extractions: I am 26 years old and have just recently been diagnosed as having "Sarcoidosis" or "morbus Boeck". I already have had frustrating experiences with doctors and/or specialists who cannot fully answer my questions about the disease. I am being treated with cortisone, does anyone know anything about an alternative form of therapy? I have a severe case of Erythema Nodosum, how long does it take to heal? When will I no longer feel fatigued and ill? When will I get my endurance back I would greatly appreciate getting mail from other people who have had the disease longer and who might be able to answer some of my questions.

OTOLARYNGOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS OF SARCOIDOSIS Andrew L. de Jong, M.D. Historically, Hutchinson is credited with first describing the disease and he named it "Mortimers malady" after the patient, Mrs. Mortimer, who had the unique skin findings. In 1899, Boeck described the skin manifestations in more detail and called the disease Boeck's sarcoidosis. He used sarcoid in the name because he thought it was cutaneous form of a sarcoma. The Danish ophthalmologist, Heerfordt, described the triad of uveitis, parotid enlargement, and cranial nerve paresis in 1909. Schaumann described the pathologic findings in 1916 and then, in 1940, Poe was the first to pathologically document sarcoid involvement in the larynx. Finally, Kvein and Siltzbach refined a skin test for sarcoidosis using a heat killed suspension from the lymph nodes of known sarcoid patients. Neurologic symptoms occur in only 5% of the cases, but they are the most common reason for otolaryngologic consultation. Facial nerve palsies are the most common cranial nerve deficit but any cranial nerve can be affected. The paresis can either be fluctuating or a relentless, progressive course. Although Heerfordt's disease most often includes facial nerve paresis, any cranial nerve can be affected in association with uveitis and parotid enlargement. Fever is also commonly associated with this constellation of findings.

OTOLARYNGOLOGIC MANIFESTATIONS OF SARCOIDOSIS January 11, 1992 Sarcoidosis is a chronic, systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. It generally affects people in their 20s to 40s and has a predilection for females, Blacks and Puerto Ricans. Worldwide, there is an increased prevalence of sarcoidosis in northern Europe, the southeastern United States, Australia, and Scandinavia. The etiology of sarcoidosis remains a mystery despite a great deal of research. An air-borne pathogen has been speculated, although a specific entity has never been identified. The immunologic response is probably initiated when an unknown antigen acts on a mononuclear phagocyte or T-helper cell, activating the T-helper cell to secrete Interleukin 2. This leads to further proliferation of the T-helper cells as well as secretion of a monocyte chemotactic factor responsible for recruiting the cellular building blocks needed for granuloma formation.

Extractions: Diagnosis: Sarcoidosis with scalp and joint involvement Histopathology: The biopsy ( Figs. 3 and 4 ) revealed several non-caseating granulomas in the papillary dermis. Special stains for acid-fast bacteria and fungus were negative. The dermatopathologist concluded that the histology was compatible with sarcoidosis. The patient was treated with hydroxychoroquine 200 milligrams twice daily and clobetasol propionate 0.05% gel applied to the scalp lesion twice daily. Upon return to the dermatology clinic at four-mouth follow up, there was significant re-growth of hair and a diminution in the stiffness and pain of his hands. Discussion: Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic multisystem granulomatous disease. It is most common in African Americans and Northern European Caucasians. The disease prevalence is 40 per 100,000 among African Americans and 5 per 100,000 among white Americans2. Geographic variation has also been noted, with reported incidence in Spain of 0.04 per 100,000 and Sweden of 64 per 100,0001. The disease has protean manifestations. The lymph nodes are nearly always affected. The lungs, spleen, liver, bone marrow, heart, musculoskeletal system and skin are also commonly affected. Sarcoidosis likely has an immune mediated etiology (1, 3). Approximately 25% of patients with sarcoidosis exhibit cutaneous manifestations. The most common cutaneous manifestation in black patients is a waxy, translucent papular eruption over the face, lids, nasolabial folds, upper back and around the orbits(4). Sarcoidosis has a broad range of less commonly reported cutaneous presentations, including follicular papules, ichthyotic scaling, ulcers, scaly plaques, verrucous papules, and hypopigmentation7.

Extractions: Ultrastructural epidermal lesions in dermatosis with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis symptomcomplex Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is a morphological symptomcomplex underlying many pathological conditions. The of the present study was to evaluate ultrastructural epidermal changes in patients with congenital bullous erythrodermia and concomitant keratodermia in the absence of palmar and plantar lesions or with systemic epidermal nevus. All the patients exhibited a prevalent ultrastructural feature, homogenization and clustering of tonofilaments in the suprabasal layer. Concurrent non-specific destructive changes in cell cytoplasm could be seen in all epidermal layers while changes in keratohyalin granules were confined to the granular layer. No ultrastructural markers of heterogeneity were found in the given nosological group.
Extractions: Sarcoidosis, also called sarcoid of Boeck is a long-term disease of unknown origin marked by small, round bumps in tissue. It may appear in organs of the body, such as the lungs, spleen, liver, skin, mucous membranes, and tear and salivary glands, usually along with the lymph glands. The sores usually go away after a period of some months or years, but lead to widespread grainy swelling and fibrosis. ,

Cutaneous Sarcoidosis ... VI. Supplemental Information The Web We Weave: Sarcoidosis on the Internet Purpose The purpose of this report is to sort through the large number of web pages and present the more factual and accurate pages. In this extended listing, annotations provide information about the site so readers can determine if this is the type of site they would wish to view personally. Some citations provide references to web pages that physicians can present to their patients in language understandable by non-physicians. An alphabetic code describes various features of each site. The key to the code is presented at the end of the list. If readers have their favorite site and it is not listed please feel free to contact the author at the e-mail address listed ( sarcoid@sarcoidcenter.com Magnitude of the Problem In order to put the problem in perspective the following is a list of Internet search engines with the results (in numbers of pages found) of a search on the word "sarcoidosis." Keep in mind that many of these are redundant in that the same page may be listed under different search engines and within a given search engine multiple times under a different aspect of sarcoidosis (e.g. treatment, pathology, etc.). In addition, there are relatively few sites devoted solely to sarcoidosis and non-physicians write most of these. The distinction between entire sites and portions of sites dealing with sarcoidosis will be made in the annotations. A tabular analysis of the results is presented here.
Extractions: To begin a search, enter one or two English search words or leading strings, at least 3 letters in length, separating terms with a single space.
