The treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Abstract:

:This manuscript offers an approach to the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis based on current available information. The treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis is not mandatory as the disease may be self-limiting and therapy is often associated with significant drug side effects. The decision to treat rests predominantly on the presence of significant symptoms or functional limitation. Corticosteroids are the drug of choice. Alternative agents to corticosteroids may be useful primarily as corticosteroid sparing agents.

  • Neurological and endocrinological disorders: orphans in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    abstract::Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often characterised by a range of characteristic co-morbidities that interfere with their pulmonary disease. In addition to a mere association with co-morbidities, a complex pathophysiological interaction and mutual augmentation occurs between COPD and its...
