title: [Immunohistochemically detected activity of lysozyme in sarcoidosis granulomas--a parameter for the activity of the illness process?].
abstract: In 30 patients with sarcoidosis we estimated immunohistochemically the activity of lysozyme in correlation to the activity of ACE in serum and found a positive correlation between these two parameters. We conclude, that the lysozyme content of sarcoidotic granulomas, estimated immunohistochemically, may be a useful morphological parameter of the activity of the disease, applicable on formol fixed and paraffin embedded bioptical material.
