title: [Diagnosis and treatment of pleural lesions in sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs].
abstract: Among the 2775 respiratory sarcoidosis patients who were examined over the last ten years 278 (10%) had pleural affections: thickening of interlobular pleura and pleural deposits (98.2%), exudative pleurisy (1.1%) and spontaneous pneumothorax (0.7%). The most common pleural affection was found in sarcoidosis of stages II and III (16.8 and 70.8%, respectively). The clinical manifestations in all forms of this pathology had poor symptoms. Complex therapy proved to be highly effective. It included use of corticosteroids, antioxidants and immunomodulators; massive exudative pleurisy was managed by pleural puncture and removal of exudate.
