title: [A longterm rational control of the course of sarcoidosis in ambulatory practice (author's transl)].
abstract: In longterm rational controls of clinically significant disseminated sarcoidosis of the lungs 1. standardized X-ray-graphs record the change-over of the granulomatous sarcoidosis stage to a fibrotic one, discrete X-ray-alterations put up to optimistic interpretation, 2. standardized function parameters verify the frequently resting decrease in pulmonary function. In controls over 3-5 years the curve of forced exspiration already signalizes dangerous delayed effects of sarcoidosis (deficient load-arterialization?) in spite of an apparently roentgenological improvement. This statement becomes decisive for individual and industrial-medical prognoses. Herefore 3 examples: A picture of structure and function of disseminated sarcoidoses of the lungs before and after a treatment lasting for years (corticosteroids) with standardized controls.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A standard X-ray-graph is to be evaluated only in combination with standard function parameters. Pay attention to the signal restriction in --2 sigma.
