title: [Observations on the therapy of endothoracic sarcoidosis with ACTH].
abstract: The Author on the basis of data obtained with ACTH treatment in endothoracic sarcoidosis concludes that the administration of corticotrophin is advisable mainly when an intolerability to corticosteroids is present or when corticosteroid therapy does not display any appreciable effect. When steroid treatment yields partially satisfactory results, ACTH administration can produce further improvements.
