22 cze 2020 · We collected the following data at diagnosis and over the course of the disease by reviewing medical charts: demographic characteristics, medical history, clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging findings, sites of tissue biopsy, histological analysis, treatments and outcome.
21 wrz 2018 · When compared with the group of patients diagnosed below the age of 65, those with elderly sarcoidosis presented less frequently with Löfgren's syndrome and required more time for the diagnosis, which suggests that the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in elderly people requires a high index of suspicion.

Diagnostic uncertainty is common and understandable given the higher prevalence of co-morbidities in older patients and broad differential for multi-system clinical presentations.
