- 35. DIAGNOSIS Biopsy showing granuloma No alternative diagnosis Clinically consistent with sarcoidosis Yes SARCOIDOSIS No Possible sarcoidosis Seek other DD Features suggesting Sarcoidosis CXR , Skin lesions, uveitis, optic neuritis, hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, Cr N palsies Biopsy affected organ if possible Bronchoscopy: biopsy with granuloma Needle aspirate: granulomas Negative but no evidence of alternative diagnosis Features highly consistent with sarcoidosis: Serum ACE > 2 times UL BAL lymphocytes > 2 times UL Positive Gallium scan No Yes Positive and no alternative diagnosis SARCOIDOSIS
- 36. TREATMENT Abnormal LFT , Abnormal CXR - monitoring Heart Eye Nervous system
- 37. TREATMENT Acute illness Minimal to No organs Abnormalities of neurologic cardiac, ocular, calcium YES – Systemic therapy NO- no therapy and observe Single Organ Disease Only anterior eye , localised skin , cough YES- Topical therapy NO- systemic therapy Symptomatic Multiple Organs Systemic therapy with glucocorticoids Taper to <10 mg in <6 months: continue prednisone Cannot taper to <10g or Steroid toxicity Consider Mtx , HCQ, Azathioprine
- 38. TREATMENT Chronic illness Glucocorticoids tolerated Dose <10 mg/d YES – Continue therapy NO- Seek alternative agents Glucocorticoids not tolerated Alternative agents Methotrexate HCQ Azathioprine Mycophenolate Minocycline Glucocorticoids not effective Try alternative agents If effective, taper off glucocorticoids If not effective, consider: Multiple agents Infliximab Cyclophosphamide Thalidomide
- 39. Non Steroidal agents • Chloroquine – Cutaneous lesions , hypercalcemia ,bone lesions • Minocycline – cutaneous lesions • Methotrexate • Azathiprine • Mycophenolate • Cyclophosaphamide • Thalidomide • Infliximab
- 40. INDICATIONS IN PULMOARY SARCOID Bothersome or worsening symptoms • cough, shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort, hemoptysis). Deteriorating lung function, • serial testing at three to six month intervals, that demonstrates one or more of the following: • a fall in total lung capacity (TLC) of 10 percent or more; • a fall in forced vital capacity (FVC) of 15 percent or more; • a decrease in diffusing capacity (DLCO) of 20 percent or more; • or worsened gas exchange at rest (eg, a decrease in oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry of four or more percent) Severe enough initial disease • (FEV 1 ) below 70 percent of predicted, • a diffusing capacity below 60 percent of predicted, and/or • an oxygen saturation of 90 percent or less, and • widespread radiographic opacities. Progressive radiographic changes • worsening of interstitial opacities, • development of cavities, • progression of fibrosis with honeycombing, or • development of signs of pulmonary hypertension.
- 41. ADVERSE PROGNOSTIC FACTORS • Lupus pernio • Chronic uveitis • Age of onset > 40 yrs • Chronic hypercalcaemia • Nephrocalcinosis • Black race • Nasal mucosal involvement • Cystic bone lesions • Neurosarcoidosis • Myocardial involvement
