title: [Therapy of sarcoidosis with old tuberculin, blood and BCG. Break in treatment during pregnancy (author's transl)].
abstract: In a patient suffering from sarcoidosis stage II the treatment with Old Tuberculin, blood and BCG led to immediate but incomplete remission. With the withdrawal of therapy for safety reasons during pregnancy, a relapse in stage II was observed after delivery. Chest roentgenogramms deteriorated under observation. Thus, treatment was resumed and completed. Sarcoidosis was cured as measured by clinical and x-ray parameters and no relapse occurred under the following observation of more than 10 years. As the time course of disease in 4 other patients with pregnancies was comparable, these results lend further support to the benefit of our therapy and underline the urgent need of a controlled prospective study.
