DIAGNOSTICS DIFFICULTIES OF SARCOIDOSIS IN THERAPEUTIC PRACTICE

Abstract

Sarcoidosis morbidity is poorly studied in Russia. Clinical signs of sarcoidosis are diverse and lack of specific screening tests makes the non-invasive diagnostic procedures rather complicated. In general therapeutic practice diagnostics becomes rather complicated because of the necessity to differentiate the disease from other diseases with similar signs and symptoms in an atypical disease course. The clinical case described in the study confirms the complexity and specific features of sarcoidosis diagnostics at the Internal Diseases Department of a hospital.
