Clinical and prognostic aspects of pulmonary sarcoidosis in servicemen

The authors analysed clinical, radiological and laboratory aspects of respiratory tract sarcoidosis in servicemen, analysed the quality of life, correlation analysis to determine the risk factors for relapse of the disease. It was found that respiratory tract sarcoidosis of I and II stage was diagnosed in 85.5% of servicemen; in 72% of servicemen prevails asymptomatic course of a disease. Despite the prevalence of asymptomatic forms of the disease, the quality of life of servicemen with sarcoidosis has reduced. The factors associated with recurrent disease: age >35 years; the presence of clinical manifestations; forced vital capacity <85% of predicted values; systemic glucocorticoid therapy in history. Designed range forecast recurrent course of sarcoidosis in young patients having a high predictive value.
