Sarcoidosis in Children

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous inflammation including the cause of undiagnosed. A century has passed since Hutchinson first explained this situation, but there are still serious lack of awareness of this disease among healthcare workers engaged in the treatment of children. Epidemiology: Although this condition is more common in groups of 20 to 45 years old, there is a possibility of involving children of all ages. Due to the lack of consciousness and the nature of the disease there is concern that the case may not be diagnosed or misdiagnosed yet.

My condition is called sarcoidosis. When I was a student in London in 2004, I was diagnosed with lung. This is the most common symptom. After confirming the sarcoidosis and excluding a series of potentially more serious diseases, I received long-term treatment of high-dose steroids, the choice for this disease.

Lung is by far the most common symptom of sarcoidosis. At least 90% of affected people suffer from lung infiltration. Overall, about 50% had a permanent lung abnormality and 5% -15% had lung parenchymal progressive fibrosis. Pulmonary sarcoidosis is predominantly interstitial lung disease, inflammatory processes include alveoli, small bronchi and small blood vessels. In cases of acute and subacute, physical cracks usually reveal dry cracks. At least 5% of people suffer from pulmonary hypertension. It affects upper respiratory tract (including larynx, pharynx and paranasal sinus) and occurs in 5 to 10% of cases

Many people diagnosed with sarcoidosis have never experienced symptoms but cause shortness of breath and loss of lung function and sometimes permanently damage the lungs. In rare cases, if sarcoidosis causes heart disease or severe lung disease, there is a possibility of life threatening. If the symptoms persist for more than 2 years, the symptoms are considered chronic, and the symptoms may worsen the quality of life. A few people with severe heart disease or lung disease need heart or lung transplants. Even if your illness is not active, you may have sarcoidosis

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis and pulmonary sarcoidosis are interstitial lung diseases where the number of alveolar lymphocytes is greatly increased in the active phase of the disease and in the tissue granulomas. In allergic pneumonia, organic inhaled antigens are usually identified as causative agents and can detect specific antibodies in addition to changes in cellular immunity. Therefore, the immunological properties of this disease are controversial. Changes in immunoglobulins may be great
