22 cze 2020 · We notice that sarcoidosis with onset ≥75 years old had statistically fewer respiratory signs (26.5% vs. 70%, P = 0.012), arthralgia (0% vs. 10%, P = 0.008) and erythema nodosum (0% vs. 30%, P < 0.001) than those with onset between 65 and 74 years of age, which supports the choice of a 75-year threshold.
What are the symptoms of pulmonary sarcoidosis? Not all people with this condition have signs of disease. But pulmonary sarcoidosis symptoms may include: Chest pain. Cough that doesn’t go away. Fatigue, tiredness, malaise or generally not feeling well. Shortness of breath (dyspnea). Wheezing.

It is a very common symptom in acute pulmonary sarcoidosis from the granulomatous involvement of the airways and in chronic sarcoidosis from airway distortion from fibrosis. Chest pain is also an underappreciated symptom of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
