Treatment of sarcoidosis by old tuberculin, blood and BCG. II. Case reports.
The immunological therapy of sarcoidosis is composed of subcutaneous injections of a mixture of old tuberculin and blood of a highly tuberculin sensitive donor of an appropriate bloodgroup and additional vaccination with BCG. By presenting 3 sarcoidosis patients with typical clinical courses of disorder under our therapy, it is demonstrated that chronic sarcoidosis by this treatment is cured without any relapse, and that an acute sarcoidosis can be shortened in its duration.
